ArtNetLab 2008
Mestna galerija Ljubljana/City Art Museum Ljubljana, 29. 5. - 5. 6. 2008
Razstava novomedijskih projektov iz produkcije ArtNetLab 2007 in 2008.
Exhibition of new media art projects from ArtNetLab production group from 2007 and 2008.
Sodobna vizualna kultura temelji na tehno-pogledu in pametnih softverih, ki prepoznavajo
vidno ter se nanj odzivajo. Obiskovalec galerije ali javnega prostora se znajde v polju
pogleda, v katerem sam deluje kot kurzor in s svojim gibanjem proži dogajanje na
projekcijah. Avatarji v virtualnih prostorih računalniških projekcij kot zrcalne slike
spremljajo obiskovalca in njegovo pot skozi realni prostor. Plesni gib postane ukaz za
animiranje oblik, za remontažo večkanalnih videov, za vstopanje v virtualne prostore in
večzgodbene pripovedi. Obenem se objekti iz vsakdanjega življenja, kot sta npr. luč ali
hladilnik, redefinirajo kot pametne, spletne entitete oziroma sogovorniki obiskovalcev o
problemih kot sta, denimo, prehranjevanje in hujšanje.
The visual culture of our time is defined by the techno-gaze paradigm and influenced
particularly by the computer vision software that recognizes the visible and intelligently
reacts to it. The visitor to the gallery or any public space finds him/herself in the field of
vision, where he/she acts as a cursor, which by moving triggers the events on the
projections. Avatars in virtual spaces of computer projections follow the visitor's movement
through real space as mirror images and shadows, whereas the dancing movements
function as controls for animation of forms, mixing of multi-channel videos and multi-plot
narratives. At the same time, objects from our everyday lives, like a light bulb or a fridge,
become smart net entities and respond to the user about problems such as food and diets.

Zoran Poznič: Frigorator
Programiranje/Coding: Peter Krebelj
Interaktivna instalacija/Interactive installation
Način življenja večine ljudi v postindustrijski družbi ne omogoča več racionalnega
prehranjevanja. Hladilniki so polni zmrznjene, industrijsko pripravljene hrane. Bašemo
se, ko utegnemo. S hrano kompenziramo vsakodnevni stres. Ljudje se redimo in
kompulzivno hujšamo. Projekt Frigorator skuša problematizirati manipulativne
moralne aksiome, kot so: slaba vest, zadrega, občutek krivde in ubogljivost. Frigorator
uporabnika stehta in nagovori, ozmerja, če je predebel, ali pa povabi, naj si postreže z
različno hrano.
The way of life in the post-industrial society doesn't allow for the rational nutrition
anymore. The refrigerators are full of frozen, industrially prepared food. We stuff
ourselves whenever we can. The food compensates for the daily stress. The people
gain weight and then go on a diet. The Frigorator project questions the manipulative
moral axioms, such as: bad conscience, embarrassment, the feeling of guilt and
obedience. Frigorator weighs the user, shouts at him/her, if he/she is too fat or invites
the user to take something to eat.
Vanja Mervič: CunC_living_lab
Interaktivna instalacija/Interactive installation
Prazen prostor poln pomena, ki ga vsak nov uporabnik ustvarja na novo. Stojimo na
pragu med zavednim in nezavednim. Med zavestno besedo in mislijo, ki ji predhaja in
katere vsebine se ne zavedamo. Z zavestno samoizpostavitvijo subliminaciji se začenja
proces nastajanja nove skupnosti, novega kolektivnega zavednega-nezavednega.
Prostor postane kontinuiran, neskončen. Odgovor na fantazmagorijo skritih svetov, od
katerih zadnji in najbolj pretanjen je umetelna sinteza našega sveta, to je najvišja
iluzija naše dobe.
An empty space filled with content, which is continuously recreated by each new user.
We are standing on the threshold between conscious and unconscious. Between a
conscious word and its preceding thought of which content we are not aware. By
conscious exposure to sublimination a generating process of a new community, of a
new collective consciousness-unconsciousness is commencing. The space becomes
continuous, infinite. A response to the phantasmagoria of the concealed worlds, of
which the last and the subtlest is an artificial synthesis of this world, is a superior
illusion of our age.
Narvika Bovcon, Aleš Vaupotič: IP Luč/IP Light
Programiranje/Coding: Matevž Grbec, Marko Ilić, Samo Mahnič. Predmet/Object
http://black.fri.uni-lj.si/iplight/
Luč, žarnica, skozi katero teče električni tok in ki osvetljuje okolico, se pojavi tako v
realnem prostoru (galerije) kot v kiberprostoru interneta, kjer zavzema svoje mesto
v obliki IP-naslova. Novomedijski objekt meče svetlobo na novomedijske reči.
A lamp, a light bulb connected to the electric current that illuminates things
around it, appears as well in the real space (of the gallery) as in the cyberspace of
the Internet, where it is located at a specific IP (Internet Protocol) address. A new
media object, which sheds light on new media things.

Klemen Gorup:
Mali človek v virtualnih sobah/
Little Man in Virtual Rooms
Videoinstalacija/Video installation
Mali človek v virtualnih sobah je serija videov, ki
združujejo več tehnik digitalne animacije. Podoba
je zgrajena iz elementov risb in klasično animiranih
fragmentov ter postavljena v tridimenzionalno
digitalno okolje. Posneta video podoba je
umeščena v celoto s pomočjo tehnike inkrustacije.
Little Man in Virtual Rooms is a series of videos that
combine a plethora of animation techniques with
digital imaging. Animated image is constructed
out of segments of drawings and classically
animated elements, placed into a 3-D modelled
environment. The whole image is composited with
the figural imagery of video footage and
integrated into the virtual environment by means
of chroma-key.

Ana Dumbović: Prilagoditev/Adaptacija/Adaptation
videoinstalacija/video installation
Gosto spletena oblika se zaradi prozornosti in gibljivosti prilagaja
zunanjim vplivom, kot so prostor, svetloba, barva. V različnih
danostih okolice uporablja mimikrijo, tako se identificira in najde
vsakokratno identiteto. Konkretni medij (skulpture) tokrat stopa v
interakcijo z digitalnim, virtualnim medijem (video).
The densely woven transparent and flexible form adapts to the
influences of the environment, such as space, light, colour. In
different circumstances it employs mimicry to identify itself and to
find its ad hoc identity. The concrete medium (sculpture) is brought
in interaction with the digital, the virtual one (video).
Vana Gačina: TV-Nasilje/TV-Violence Interaktivna instalacija/Interactive installation
Nasilje medijskih podob se stopnjuje, ko gledalec vstopi v instalacijo.
The violence of the media images is accelerated, when a visitor enters the installation space.
Vanja Tataj: Red garaže, Red mas, Red tapet/The Order of Garage, The Order of Masses, The Order of Wallpaper
Programiranje/Coding: Rok Koren, Peter Frelih. Interaktivna instalacija/Interactive installation
»Red garaže« se v tem primeru nanaša na človeško težnjo za redom, potrošnjo in kaosom, ki vodi v hedonizem, ki vodi v »red mas«; ta se
nanaša na masovni turizem. Zadnji »red tapet« je pravzaprav preplet vseh redov in vkalupljenost v vse kar imamo radi in česar nimamo.
“The order of garage” points in this case to the human urge for order, consumerism and commotion that leads to hedonism that
in turn leads to “the order of Masses” – the mass tourism. The last “order of wallpaper” is the intertwining of all orders and the
state of being moulded in everything that we love and what we hate.
Hana Repše: Ženska zgodba/Women's Story
Programiranje/Coding: Petra Vovk, Valter Delgiusto, Aleš Brulc. Spletna instalacija/Net installation
http://www.rupnik.net/hana/woman/
Gre za interaktivni projekt, kjer gledalec vstopa v prostore stanovanja povprečne ženske
in s kliki na aktivna mesta ustvarja oz. vstopa v njena vsakdanja opravila, lahko pa tudi
vpisuje svoja mnenja, odnos do nje in njenih različnih vlog, želje, izjave, ki se mu v tem
trenutku utrinjajo… Zgodba o ženski je na nek način hommage Cindy Sherman, namen
projekta pa je opozoriti na vrsto različnih vlog, ki jih sodobno življenje od posameznika
zahteva. Na fotografiji je predstavljen razširjen prostor stanovanja in zajema štiri sobe:
kuhinjo, hodnik, spalnico in kopalnico. Aktivne točke, gumbi, so v posameznem
prostoru postavljeni na različna mesta, s klikom na njih pa vstopamo v različne poglede
in opravila ženske. Gledalec v posebni vrstici vpisuje komentarje in jih virtualno pošilja,
tej pa se zapišejo na sliko in tako pustijo v njenem življenju svoj pečat.
Women's story is an interactive net project, where visitor can enter in different rooms of
a woman’s apartment and by clicking on active points he/she can enter in her daily
rituals. Visitor can also write his/her ideas, comments, describe relation to her and her
life roles, whishes etc. Women’s story is homage to Cindy Sherman and project’s purpose
in to shed light on different roles, which contemporary human has to enact. On the
photograph we can see the expanded space of apartment, which consists of four rooms:
kitchen, corridor, bedroom and bathroom. Active points, buttons, are in different rooms
in different places and by pressing on them visitors can find different actions of the
protagonist. In an input field the viewers can write their comments and send them to
her in a virtual way – the comments will appear on the walls of her apartment.

Ana Čigon: Gibalno vizualna interakcija – prostor zlitja giba in gibljivih slik/
Motion-Picture Interaction – areas of fusion between motion and picture
Interaktivna instalacija/Interactive installation
Program omogoča interakcijo med gibalcem in videom. Gibanje se v realnem času prenaša v program
preko največ petih barvnih točk, katerim nato uporabnik programa določi izgled, barvo ter ozadje.
Interaktivni program je vez med gibom in sliko, saj gibalcu ponuja odmev v sliki, parametri gibljivih slik pa
se spreminjajo glede na gibanje plesalca.
The application facilitates the interaction between a dancer and the video. The movement is captured in
real time through location tracking of five colour values. The user can choose the image, colour and the
background of the locators. The interactive application is a link between the movement and the image,
providing the dancer with his/her echo in the image and managing his/her influence on the parameters of
the moving image.
Hana Repše, Domen Rupnik: Substitut X/Substitute X
Programiranje/Coding: Jure Jeram. Spletna trgovina z razgledom/Web shop with a view
Projekt raziskuje odnose človeka do blaga, tako skozi ekonomski instrument marketinga kot tudi v smislu blagovnega fetišizma. Če je marketing tisto orodje, ki ustvari
željo, da ta postane potreba, je projekt Substitut X njegov nadomestek. Projekt predstavlja (ponarejeno) spletno trgovino z artikli. Uporabnik-kupec skozi izbiro,
nakupovanje, opravlja postopek kot v običajni spletni trgovini (vpisuje svoje osebne podatke, kontakte, plačilne kartice...). Ob zaključku nakupa pa prejme e-sporočilo, ki
mu razkrije ne samo koncept projekta, temveč tudi sestavine in recept za pripravo izbranega artikla.
Substitut X is a research about relations between human and merchandise in terms of marketing instruments and of brand fetishism. If a product of marketing is a wish
becoming a need (necessity), project Substitute X is its substitute. Project is representing a (fake) web-shop. User/buyer can shop like in the real web-shops (register of
personal information, contacts, bank account number etc.) through a selection of articles. When he finishes the transaction he gets an e-mail, which lets him know not
just the concept of project but also the ingredients and the recipe needed to prepare the chosen article.
Boštjan Miha Jambrek: Transformacija telesa v mediju/
The Transformation of Body in the Medium
Interaktivni performans/Interactive performance
Umetniški eksperiment je zamišljen kot zveza med dvema osebama: plesalko-modelom
(akterjem) in testirancem. Pri tem gre za trojno povratno zanko. Prva povratna zanka
povezuje z metodo poligrafiranja odzive testiranca na gibe (ples) gole akterke. Ritem
srčnega utripa testiranca določa ritem glasbe, ki jo v živo izvaja glasbenik. Drugo
povratno zanko predstavlja EEG snemanje, kjer električna aktivnost možganov vpliva na
projekcijo, ki se predvaja na telo ter na osvetlitev. Tretja povratna zanka je zavestno
določanje testiranca o tem, katere gibe naj izvaja plesalka. Vsaka povratna zanka ima
vmes postavljen varnostni element: tretjo osebo, ki zanko nadzoruje, povratno zvezo pa
po svoji umetniški presoji spodbuja (stimulira) ali zavira (inhibira).
This artistic experiment is conceived as a link between two persons: a dancer-model
and the test-subject. There is a triple feedback-loop involved. The first one uses the
polygraph to record the test-subject’s reactions to the dance of the naked dancer. The
heartbeat determines the rhythm of the music, which is performed live by a musician.
The second feedback-loop consists of an EEG recording, where the electric activity of
the brain influences the projection, which is projected onto the body, and the
illumination. The third one is the test-subject’s conscious expression of orders as to
which moves are to be performed by the dancer. Each feedback loop however
includes a safety element: a third person that controls it, according to his artistic
judgement stimulates it or inhibits it.

ArtNetLab vsako leto organizira kritično soočenje slovenske študentske videoprodukcije z deli študentov umetnostnih akademij iz tujine. Projekt
poteka že peto leto, od prvega Video Matcha leta 2004, in v teh letih se je pokazalo, da so izobraževalne ustanove, kot so akademije, nosilke tradicij
v širšem polju medija videa - posamezne smeri medija pa se pokažejo kot žive pravzaprav v stiku z mlado ustvarjalnostjo, študentsko
ustvarjalnostjo, kjer dela sicer sledijo smernicam, ki jih začrtajo profesorji, obenem pa iščejo možnosti tam, kjer je posamezna smer videoumetnosti
še posebej aktualna. Soočenja del študentov različnih evropskih in svetovnih akademij pokažejo posamezne razsežnosti medija v primerjalni
perspektivi, ki razkriva kompleksnost umetnosti videa, na meji med animacijo, video igrami, konceptualnimi in aktivističnimi umetniškimi praksami,
eksperimentalnim filmom …
Each year ArtNetLab confronts Slovene student videos with the works of their colleagues from the art academies from Europe. The fifth edition of
Video Match, which was initiated as a project in 2004, builds on the insight that the educational institutions, the art academies, pass on to the new
generations multiple traditions in the wider field of video art. The streams of development of the medium however emerge as significant through
the contact with young creativity that follows their professors and at the same time looks for contemporary relevance. Bringing face to face the
videos of students from art academies from all over the world reveals the comparative perspective that points to the complexity of the field of
video, on the boundaries with animation, video games, conceptual and activist artistic practices, experimental film …
