From the Archives of the DIVA Station: Digital Surfaces


KIBLIX 2021 / Online Video Projections
1 April–20 May 2021, 7–8 p.m. CET
Streaming: https://kiblix.org/streaming

In cooperation with the DIVA Station, a digital video archive from Ljubljana, we are preparing a series of online video projections on the computer and online art, perception of physicality in a virtual environment, and transmitted feelings. The purpose of online projections is to get acquainted with works from the digital archive, get to know individual authors, and create a space for joint reflection, discussion, and knowledge exchange. Each event will be based on a selection of (including older) works from the archives of the DIVA Station and a conversation with the authors. Deriving from the events' online context, the focus will be on works that can start a discussion on the new reality of art perception through the digital experience. The conversations will be moderated by Irena Borić and Vesna Bukovec.

The online broadcast of all meetings will be available at https://kiblix.org/streaming.



Online projection 1: Digital Surfaces
Thursday, 1 April 2021, 7–8 p.m. CET
Streaming: https://kiblix.org/streaming


Guests: Marko Peljhan and Alenka Pirman

We will be presented with a computer video animation by Marko Peljhan, conceived as a theatrical play without actors in cyberspace. The video animation was prepared, modeled and rendered using a program written explicitly with the real-time SGI Crimson animation tool. We will also see several short works by Alenka Pirman, which are not videos, but the endless repetition of the PowerPoint presentation, which has been established in the academic and commercial world to present knowledge. The projection will be followed by a conversation between the selector Irena Borić, the artists, and DIVA Station associate Vesna Bukovec.

In the 1990s, her work was predominantly related to the three fictitious institutions: the SK8 Museum (1991–93), the RIGUSRS – Research Institute for Geo Art Statistics of the Republic of Slovenia (1997; with Ćosić and Wölle), and the Domestic Research Institute (1994–98). She then collaborated with the artistic collectives/platforms like Luther Blissett/01.org (1998) and London-based Bughouse (2002–03). She has carried out several methodological exhibition projects, e.g., with a collection of the German loanwords used in the Slovene language (Arcticae horulae, 1991–98) and a deposited collection of the Police Museum (The Case.
