From the Archives of the DIVA Station: Online and Common

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.

Guest: Anja Medved

We will watch a film by Anja Medved and Patricija Maličev, in which they discuss the puzzles of humanity with the creator, scientist, and philosopher. The debate is on environmental issues from philosophical perspectives. Are we at odds with nature due to rapid technological developments? The screening will be followed by a conversation between the selector Irena Borić, the artists and associate of the DIVA Station Vesna Bukovec.
