Thursday, August 16th at 8:30 pm, SKUC, Pula and Saturday 18.08. from 6 pm, Titov Park and MSUI, Pula Festival’s Theme: Technology & nature We don’t have sharp claws or horns, neither do we change our color to blend with the surroundings. We’re not particularly quick and we have no venomous glands. We can’t grow new arms or legs when we lose them, and we are unable to breathe underwater. We have a brain, though. A brain that allows us to think in abstract ways, and consequently, a language to pass our wisdom down through generations. As a species, we are capable of compensating for most of the “shortcomings” with our brains. We build tools which we use as extensions of our own bodies and minds, tools that secure the perseverance of our species – at times successfully, at other times not as much. This set of tools and knowledge is what we call technology. As a counterpoint, we use the word “nature” – a word that signifies that which is created without technology, something that is untouched by human hand and activity. On Media Mediterranea 20 we are interested in the perception of the terms “technology” and “nature”, as well as their interrelation. without further adieu – how did we, as a species, survive for 50+ thousand years? By Oleg Šuran The Golden watermelon is made up of one or more artworks selected in the competition for artworks from the field of contemporary art, that is directly related to the theme of the festival and use new media and technology. The works are produced and presented at the festival itself. The author of the competition is Hrvoje Hiršl and the members of the jury are Oleg Šuran, Sunčica Ostoić and Marko Vojnić Gin, who also participated as advisers in the production phase. The competition “Golden watermelon” is intended for young artists from Croatia who are already working in the field of contemporary and/or new media art, interactive installations and interdisciplinary art practices. This kind of competition enables the development of the festival as a platform for the promotion of domestic authors (online and at the event itself), production of less a≈rmed authors’ work, linking domestic and foreign artists, and creating a place for sharing ideas, knowledge, and experiences. This year’s finalists who will exhibit are Tin Dožić, Petra Orbanić, Ivana Tkalčić, Josipa Škrapić, Noel Šuran and Ivana Škvorčević. Susana Soares Bee’s – Bee’s explores how we might co-habit with natural biological systems and use their potential to increase our perceptive abilities. The objects facilitate bees’ odor detection abilities in human breath. Bees can be trained within 10 minutes using Pavlov’s reflex to target a wide range of natural and man-made chemicals and odours, including the biomarkers associated with certain diseases. The aim of the project is to develop upon current technological research by using design to translate the outcome into systems and objects that people can understand and use, engendering significant adjustments in their lives and mindset. Urpflanze- Can or should we design plants adaptable to extreme weather conditions? Can we afford not to? Research on plant morphology is putting together the genetic blueprint that controls plant structure and shape. These findings could be the first steps to a new generation of plants that are more resilient to unpredictable weather patterns, meet the challenges of global demand for food and even influence climate. Urpflanze displays computer-generated images of plants that represent hypothetical macro-scale designs for extreme weather conditions. The illustrations are inspired by plant morphology research from the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences at the University of Sheffield. Maja Smrekar Survival Kit for the Anthropocene- The fast growth of invasive species – a natural phenomenon triggered by the Homo Sapiens species – can be understood as a (un)intentional experiment enabling us to objectively or subjectively directly observe the dramatic sixth extinction of species on Earth. Continuing her opus of the exploration of the typology of invasive species, through intersections of geopolitical parameters on one side and local-sociological paradigms on the other, the artist Maja Smrekar picked some of the signifiers of the national cultural heritage and transformed them into the Survival Kit for the Anthropocene, the geological era we are currently in. MM20 is an installation showcasing the twenty years of the Media Mediterranea festival. The work combines different visual materials and photographs made since 1999., the beginning of Media Mediterranea. Digital Waste – gif scenarios Digital waste – gIF scenario is an installation made from the works submitted to the open call for gIF animations. The works are made by recycling “digital waste” – all the unwanted photographs that take up kilobytes in our phones, cameras or computers. The installations include unpublished photographs, unsatisfying selfies, photographs with errors, duplicates and similar materials transformed into stop-motion animations, photographic collages, handmade animations and animated text. DiA dai sai Workshop – Experience of Fictitiousness Friday, 17.08.2017, from 19:00 to 21:00, Titov park. Age of participants: 5 to 15 years. Applications for this workshop are not required. DiA dai sai (children & architecture section) – In the field of Titov park we will build a shelter of nature – the technology will help us simulate a place where we feel “as if”. We will build our houses with the children and arrange them in a way to stimulate all the experience of staying in the scenery of a meadow, water, rain, forest. We will cover the constructions built together with a canvas, and screen the images of a selected landscape. Inside the cottages there will be speakers reproducing recorded sounds from nature. Fragrancies will be made from spice and healing herbs. DiA DAI SAI is a collective of architects who perform spatial exercises with children. With the full name Children and Architecture Section, under the wing of the Istrian Architects Society, the collective has been active since 2010, with the desire to contribute to basic art education in a dormant school curriculum, with an optimal load of one hour per week. In order to achieve this, DiA DAI SAI explains space through games, gestures, events, and intends to enhance the sensitivity to the 3D boundaries that in many ways define our reality. FabLabbing – Fablab croatia and Saturday 18.08.2018, from 18:00 to 21:00, Titov park. Age of participants: Workshop is intended for schoolchildren (from 7 years onwards) Applications for this workshop are not required. The workshop is aimed at a better knowledge of the basics of 2D digitization and 3D printing. Workshop participants will be enabled to create their drawing or college, which will then be transferred as a print on fabric, and the best work will become an object made by a 3D printer. FabLab is founded in 2013 with the aim of helping the acquaintance with new digital production technologies, used primarily to include youth and enhance their Ste[A]M skills. Its activities are conducted through three core missions: 1. Education, under the slogan “Create in School”, from elementary, high schools to universities and lifelong education, 2. Local communities, under the slogan “Give A Hand”, where new technologies are brought closer to the local community and associations with an emphasis on people with special needs, and 3. Entrepreneurship with the slogan “Generate locally, oΩer globally,” designed to promote entrepreneurship. Robot making workshop by Lovro Dujnić Workshop time: Friday, 17.08.2018. and Saturday 18.08.2018, from 18:00 to 21:00, Titov park. Age of participants: from 6 to 14 years of age. For participating please contact the contact.radionice@gmail.com. In the application please specify child name, last name, age of the child and contact phone number. One little engine and a few markers make up a small robot running up a sheet of paper and leaving traces of various colors. At the workshop participants will learn about the basics of electrical engineering and mechanics while having a good time. The shape of the robot is not restricted only to a cup, but to anything with a surface where a marker can be attached, so there is plenty of room for artistic and mechanical experimentation. Of course, all of it doesn’t make sense without using googly eyes! Lovro Dujnić works as an associate at Faust Vranić Mechanical Engineering School. In his spare time, he deals with electrical engineering, mechanics, robotics, astronomy, photography as well as with generating, repairing and restoring things from all domains and more. He is living in an apartment that looks more like a laboratory than a living space. He occasionally works and participates in workshops for youth and adults, and he organizes public sky observations with his astronomical society Beskraj. He has participated in numerous innovation competitions and has received numerous prestigious awards and medals from various countries around the world. 20:00 – 20:45 WunschBaum Project 21:00 – 01:00 Dj Marino & Dj M. Funkovich & Dj Cube + VJ’s Saturday, 18.08. 19:00 – 21:00 Solidarna eko kuhinja (SEK) 19:00 – 22:00 Morski + gosti 22:00 – 01:00 Meets Foreigners Everywhere (Trip Hop – Dub Set) + VJ’s Postmodernist concept of a musical culinary program that will make your stay in the park an unusual experience with the sounds of “modern classic” duo WunschBaum Project and a Dj program that brings a music retrospective of the first twenty years of Media Mediterranea along with served organic food made by Sek (solidary and eco kitchen). WunschBaum Project AnaMuhr (Anamarija Škara) & Sakadas (Branko Škara) The ensemble has been active for many years in various chamber ensembles and performs a repertoire of old masters, baroque sonatas, classical and romantic works, to contemporary compositions, jazz, and organic electronic music. The ensemble also creates their own music using classic and electronic instruments. At the 20th Media Mediterranea Festival, they will present to the public an appropriate program for a chamber flute and clarinet duo with the addition of electronic instruments. Morski / DJ Marino Morski is the pseudonym of Marino Jurcan (Dj Marino) who was a drummer in alter/garage rock bands in the 80s and then switched from drumsticks to vinyl and from rock clubs to psytrance parties in early 90s. He was also a resident DJ in the legendary Fort Bourguignon in the late 90s. During the 2000 he became more involved in his own production and rarely performs on parties. For this occasion, he will be performing freestyle electro from ambient to deep dub. BukaNoise Collective Meets Foreigners Everywhere (trip-hop – dub set) An association and collective of the same name – BukaNoise operates in the field of contemporary art, more accurately in fine art, performing arts and contemporary dance, film and video, and authorial music and Dj culture. Matko Banković and Marko Vojnić take care of the music section in several fields. Marko and Matko have been performing under the name of BukaNoise Collective since 2016, but their beginnings date back to the first editions of Media Mediterranea. With back to back DJ-ing and VJ-ing they combine several music genres, primarily focusing on the sound of the early 2000s and labels like Ninja Tune, Warp Records, !k7 and more. Foreigners Everywhere is an AV dub project by Marko (audio) and Matko (live visuals) established in 2016. F.E. is expanding more and more and collaborates with other artists like Too Faar, Prancing D, Ivana Vojnić Vratarić and many more. They are currently working on “Il tuo paese non esiste” that should be out in 2019. DJ Cube He is a fan of electronic music and one of the main initiators of Metamedia’s programs in the early 2000s. He has been more active as a Dj since 2003. For this occasion, he will prepare a deep and funky house set. SEK– solidarity Eco-Cuisine Tea Bevandić and Andreja Buić Created as a natural extension of the Seg group and Set marketplace. The duo in the kitchen, Tea Janko Bevandić, and Andreja Buić are two kitchen lovers and everything that surrounds it. In the preparation of meals, they use only seasonal, local and ecologically grown food combining tradition with modern culinary trends. They love to present their food by themselves and are always ready for action, and if you want the traditional Istrian panada, tomato salsa or pasta with carob, cucumber jelly or maybe watermelon pudding… just tell them. Two souls, two hearts prepare food with a face ’ Heute wird Morgen Gestern sein – Today will be tomorrow’s yesterday (Pula version) by Ariane Trümper As part of the Summer Sessions residency, young artist Ariane Trümper will present her artwork at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Istria (MSuI). In this scenographic sound and video installation, the impossible seems to be possible, to change time. Time will be seemingly flowing backward, disabling the rules of space and time. Images will be rerouted through media, changing their truth and perceptions will be challenged. An interactive experience that invites the spectator to explore an impossible wish and the destructive or constructive potential of events. Summer Sessions is a network for talent development realized in collaboration with V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media from Rotterdam, and as part of the MI plus platform whose member are Metamedia Association, L.A.e.XXI, Faro11 and Sonitus. – SRPSKI KULTURNI CENTAR (SKUC) – TITOV PARK This year the Metamedij association organizes the 20th edition of the Media Mediterranea festival, which will be held from 16th to 18th August in Pula. This year’s theme of the festival deals with the perception of the concepts “technology” and “nature” as well as their relationship. The festival program starts at 8:30 pm on August 16th at the SKUC Gallery by the opening exhibition of guest artists and the finalists of the “Zlatna lubenica 2.0”. The exhibition will be open until August 23rd. The Media Mediterranea 20 Festival continues on the 17th and 18th of August in Titov Park where audiences will have the opportunity to watch new media installations and enjoy the music-gastronomic Picnic soundtrack. Also in the park, there will be organized a children’s program, Mini Mediterranea, where the youngest during the workshop will also have the opportunity to express themselves and have fun. Media Mediterranea Festival has been held since 1999. The program focuses on the field of new media and technology. The main aim is promoting innovative and interdisciplinary art practices and affirmation of young and talented authors. Every year the festival is evolving in accordance with social news, focusing on topics and highlighting problems of intermediate art and the latest technologies. For the first five years of its existence, the festival focused on electronic music, visual installations and the open-air concept of free culture. The next five years festival focused on workshops, networking at the national level, and a multidisciplinary approach on culture and civil society. In the third “Fifth”, the focus of the festival was on advocacy activities (cultural policies, ex-military zones, architecture and independent culture) and artists, urban and hip-hop culture. In the last five years, the focus of the festival is contemporary art in the public space, the popularization of novel art, international authors ‘and curators’ visits, and a competition for young artists – Zlatna lubenica. Archive of Media Mediterranea (2005-2017)]]> During the workshop, participants were dealing with topics such as 3D printing, artificial intelligence, genetic and physical modification, hybrids, organ prints and design. Also, they had a chance to visit the Istrian Public Health Institute to make a DNA experiment. The workshop program also included “artist talk” by Susana Soares and her professional mentoring during practical work in smaller groups, as well as lectures and work with 3D printers. As we keep blurring the boundaries between nature and technology and regard living beings as raw material that can be manipulated and printed new emerging and fascinating perspectives emerge towards the concept of hybrid. As designers, artists and scientists are bridging blood, flesh and tissue with pixels and algorithms what will be the future social and ethical implications for society in general? Metaskin – what if our skin could use photosynthesis to produce oxygen? Marijeta Bradić, Ivan Goran Žunar, Dijana Senkić, Juraj Ostavić The first group has been working on the project called “Metaskin”, designed as a solution to man’s adaptation to new environmental conditions caused by climate change. Metaskin is a human skin membrane that produces oxygen through photosynthesis. It connects the technology of so-called “living tattoos” and synthetic plants with living cells of cyanobacteria, which exposed to natural light produce photosynthesis and respectively converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. This type of interactive membrane is meant to be applied on the human skin to supply oxygen and reduce air pollution. The material was made from genetically engineered cyanobacterial cells mixed with hydrogel. This 3D printed membrane is applied on the skin of the hand, face or neck – parts of the body that are prominently exposed to sunlight. Tree Web – what if we could communicate with fungus and plants to reduce the effects of climate change? Iva Korenčić, Luana Lojić, Natalija Rzznar, Susana Soares Climate change issues that increase the reproduction of harmful tree insects encouraged us to think about the technology that would facilitate the monitoring of infectious processes in trees and thus prevent further deforestation. For example, because of the insect sting, Croatian forests cut off 69.35 hectares of trees. TREE WEB is a project about tree and forest monitoring device. The dual function of the device: TheBodybay – what if you could print body parts out of your own cells? Morena Martinović, Isabella Bubola, Margerita Rakić, Tea Zbašnik We wondered what would be the financial connotations of printing live 3d organs from our own cells in the future. The emphasis of the project is on the black market of 3d printed organs that would emerge as a reaction to an inefficient and expensive health system. Except for printing organs for medical purposes, we have also wondered about body modification for aesthetic purposes. After tattoo, piercing and body modification – is the future of decorating and expressing Your Personality in 3d Printed Body Extensions? Exhibition and presentation of workshops The project is financed by: “Kultura nova” Foundation, Ministry of culture – Republic of Croatia, City of Pula, Region of Istria]]> Hybrids: redefining humanity Humans are undoubtedly changing the environment but is the environment that we created through scientific advances and technology changing us? Is technology changing your very nature? Life expectancy increased due to technology. Improved health care, sanitation, immunizations and better nutrition are some of the factors that contributed to this increase. New advances in areas such as synthetic biology, genetic engineering, bionics and AI (artificial intelligence) are making us less dependent on natural selection than technology. Genetic screening is enabling parents to design their babies and weed out undesirable diseases. Bionics and prosthetics are empowering differently able people making them run faster and play better than the average human. And advances in AI are blurring the boundaries of human/ machine surfacing pertinent ethical questions. As we keep blurring the boundaries between nature and technology and regard living beings as raw material that can be manipulated and … printed (research teams have been 3D printing a range of artificial organs) new emerging and fascinating perspectives emerge towards the concept of hybrid. As designers, artists and scientists are bridging blood, flesh and tissue (physical) with pixels and algorithms (digital) what will be the future social and ethical implications for society in general? By speculating, designers are thinking of alternative products, systems, and worlds. It is a discursive activity, which is fundamental to critical thinking and dialogue. This design moves from the limitation of commercial practice (dictated to the market); it uses fiction and speculates on future products, services, systems and worlds and reflects the role and influence of new technologies on everyday life, initiates a dialogue between experts (scientists, engineers, and designers) and users of new technologies (audiences). The exhibition is conceived through reflection on the possibilities of technological redesigning humanity and the environment to explore the future technological implications of sustainability. Works for the exhibition were finalized with the help of 3D printers.]]> The process of work is divided into three phases. Within the first phase (duration about 1 week), the author collected the materials needed for making sound instruments. The materials were collected through donations in the spaces of V2_. For the purpose of collecting materials, a facebook event entitled “Donate E-waste” was created, and held on August 21st and 23rd. He found the materials in second hand shops and in the street as well. He used waste materials and obsolete technologies such as personal computers, old tools, motors, toys, wood, and obsolete audio technology (gramophone). In the second phase, which lasted for about 2.5 weeks, the artist created the instruments, based on simple electromechanical and electronic principles. Their role is the production of negligent or unmusical sounds. Most of the devices that required electricity were powered by recycled power from a discarded personal computer. Here are some examples of this sound generation principle: The third stage (the last week of the residency) was dedicated to setting up all the instruments on the table, arranging the table, and its setting in the exhibition space. The table was translucent, and illuminated with neon lights on the underside. At this stage, Dožić was also focused on practicing the composition for the performance at the very exhibition. Tin Dožić completed his studies in psychology at the Croatian Studies of the University of Zagreb and new media at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. In his artistic practice, he takes the sound medium as a starting point and his fields of activity include field recordings, radio, experimental music, and installations. His work is based on the media research through the practice of developing his own electronic instruments, appropriation of outdated technologies and recycling. He performed and presented his work in different platforms in Croatia and abroad, independently and in collaborative projects (Showroom of Contemporary Sound, MIMO, Sine Linea, Sound Art Incubator,CASS School of Art, Architecture and Design London, Device art Prague). Summer Sessions are short-term, international residencies for young artists that are organized by a network of cultural organizations all over the world. During the program artists will work in a highly productive atmosphere in which continuous support, feedback and expert supervision is offered. The main idea of the residencies is to help artists jumpstart their professional practice by offering them support from a local sponsor to go abroad for a production residency at a host institute.]]> “Beachfront” is part of the international project “Inverting Battlefields – for a borderless future”, which tries to confront and understand various types of traumas, that mark places historically affected by wars or conflicts, by using different artistic methods and cultural practices. Confronting trauma, and its consequences to the formation of the European identity, is a path towards healing and transforming the past, and thus creating a way to generate common ground to produce a better, inclusive and more welcoming atmosphere for all. The project is led by the Austrian organization XENOS in collaboration with the artist Nayari Castillo, and eight other organizations from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia. Metamedia Association is also one of the partners. About the artwork: “Beachfront” is a performance of a memory infused in factual and post-factual reality. It deals with the unexplored battlefield areas within my family’s past and their experience of the world of the nineties. The place that connects the spatio-temporal contects of memories, experiences, stories, and thoughts about the future is Perojska šuma, or the beach where we used to go as kids. The site, the trigger for inverting the battlefield, is also the end point of our sea trip – a touristic tour that begins in Pula, and ends at the sea, opposite of Perojska šuma. //Site-time specific gesture// Mirta Polanović – guide Liberta Mišan – author Robert Maloić – performer Margerita Rakić – costume Dominik Grdić – documentation Sara Salomon – editing About the author: Interested in sites, spaces, locations and places, Liberta works as visual artist, theatre scenographer and location scout/manager in the audiovisual industry. Working with different media, such as photography, performance, happening and installation, she researches through phenomenological approach and poetics of interpretation. Her works were exhibited in Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka, Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, MC gallery New York, Forum Stadtpark Graz, UDK Medienhaus Berlin, Kortil gallery in Rijeka., and VN gallery in Zagreb. Her first solo exhibition took place in Singular gallery, Pula. She is a member of “Platform for Experiment” collective.

This is an interactive live performance in which the artist and the audience create communication through touch. Within the Mp3 platform, every year Metamedia Association invites one artists on a short and intensive artistic residence Summer Sessions, during which the selected artist has the opportunity to develop its own art project in close collaboration with the platform’s members and associates. This year the artist in residence is Noa Silver Veldhuijsen, a 23-years-old interdisciplinary artist who works in the field of new media art. Born in the Netherlands, based in Rotterdam. He graduated from the WdKa with a major in Fine Arts and a minor in Hacking. Sound, a tributary of Touch. Noa Silver, 2017 Synthesis: “The combination of components or elements to form a connected whole.” In western society we base the majority of our communication on linguistics. We rarely use physical interaction as a way of communicating, except with those closest to us. Amongst strangers, and often even friends and family, we tend to reserve our personal bubble and limit our physical interaction; we have created barriers around ourselves even though there is a deep-rooted human desire for physical interaction and acknowledgement. Digital communication has further strengthened this barrier by limiting our interaction to communication via digital screens. Sounds, a tributary of Touch, showcases a playful alternate to our form of communication by creating a balance between sound and touch. It uses electronics to generate synthesis between the senses. Generating musical elements that replace the auditive spectrum we normally associate with linguistic communication. It is an intimate interactive performance between artist and audience. Let’s synthesise the music of our skin. This project is produced as part of the Summer Sessions Network for Talent Development in a co-production of Metamedia Association and V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media.]]> Mediengruppe Bitnik (read – the not mediengruppe bitnik) live and work in Zurich/London. They are contemporary artists working on and with the Internet. Their practice expands from the digital to affect physical spaces, often intentionally applying loss of control to challenge established structures and mechanisms. Mediengruppe Bitniks works formulate fundamental questions concerning contemporary issues. In early 2013 ! Mediengruppe Bitnik sent a parcel to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy. The parcel contained a camera which broadcast its journey through the postal system live on the internet. They describe «Delivery for Mr. Assange» as a SYSTEM_TEST and a Live Mail Art Piece. They have also been known for sending a bot called «Random Darknet Shopper» on a three-month shopping spree in the Darknets where it randomly bought objects like Ecstasy and had them sent directly to the gallery space. Mediengruppe Bitnik are the artists Carmen Weisskopf and Domagoj Smoljo. Their accomplices are the London filmmaker and researcher Adnan Hadzi and the reporter Daniel Ryser.

Taken in account that he finished medicine prior to starting his musical career, it is evident why his music posesses the fascinating mixture of natural and social phenomena, mathematical curves, algorithms and electronics. Davor B. Vincze, born in Zagreb, obtained his degrees in composition in Graz and Stuttgart, after which he finished practical training in electronic composition at Ircam in Paris. His pieces have been performed by ensembles such as Modern, Recherche, Intercontemporain, Klangforum, Talea and many others, in concerts and festivals such as Impuls, MATA, Manifeste, Biennale Zagreb, etc. In 2014 he has started Novalis, contemporary music festival in Croatia. Currently he lives in the US, where he’s doing his PhD in composition with Brian Ferneyhough at Stanford University.]]> Location: Pula, Titov park You can read more about the festival’s concept here. The Random Darknet Shopper is an automated online shopping bot which we provide with a budget of $100 in Bitcoins per week. Once a week the bot goes shopping in the deep web where it randomly chooses and purchases one item and has it mailed directly to the exhibition space. Once the items arrive they are unpacked and displayed, each new object adding to a landscape of traded goods from the Darknet. The Random Darknet Shopper is a live Mail Art piece, an exploration of the deep web via the goods traded there. It directly connects the Darknet with the gallery. By randomizing its consumerism, the bot is guaranteed a wide selection of goods from the thousands listed on deepweb markets. In its first run from October 2014 – January 2015, Random Darknet Shopper bought 12 items from the deepweb market Agora, which were displayed at Kunst Halle St. Gallen in the exhibition “The Darknet – From Memes to Onionland. An Exploration”. Since Agora discontinued its services in September, Random Darknet Shopper will now order items from Alpha Bay, currently the largest deepweb market place. The horticulture unit 204_NO_CONTENT is made of organic elements, transgressing the contents from the digital domain. The textual context of the picture is a text found in the computer language that reads “204_NO_CONTENT”. It is an error report that appears in the internet communication. A machine communicates with another machine about protocols of failed communication [HTML server error], and thus providing the user with the insight into the problem. Error “204_NO_CONTENT” means that the server has fulfilled the request but there is no new information to send back. A typographical picture located in the desert is 3.6 × 31 meter in size and shaped within the matrix made of 18 × 166 fields [2988 “pixels”]. This “low–resolution screen” is made of cactuses and black lava. The “active pixels” are made of 2220 cactuses [Echinocactus grusonii]. At the beginning of the project each cactus was approximately 18 cm in diameter. Materials used in the installation are chosen respecting natural resources and availability at the Fuerteventura island. Fuerteventura island is of volcanic origin and therefore black lava is widely available. The Echinocactus grusonii cactuses are visible around the island and have the status of local souvenir at the local airport. The senders used within and around the installation are of local origin. 204_NO_CONTENT is part of the Internet Error Messages, and it’s commissioned by Centro de Arte Juan Ismael, Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, Spain), for the exhibition Deambulatorios de una jornada, en el principio y el proyecto Tindaya, curated by Nilo Casares. What is the difference between plagiarism and quotation? Is it 2 notes, 3 notes? One bar? An athmosphere? Virtual reality enables information flow in an unexpected way and with tremendous speed, so it is sometimes hard to tell who was the first to launch the idea. Many creatives break under the tons of informational junk which they swollow every day on social networks, until they finally even stop pretending to be original, openly admitting they had been “inspired” by somebody else. In times where one is forced to cross–branch in order to survive, even your thoughts will be looted if you’re not prepared properly. Once you find yourself in this cyber–mash it will be hard to build your own identity based on informational fragments graspable in a few seconds. If you’re building upon more complex information, you are automatically demanding attention, concentration, reflection and deeper understanding of the matter. Do we nowadays need this qualities any more? Maybe it is enough to just turn the cylinder and make you own kaleidoscopic plagiarism! Away on Vacation is an installation that consists of the artist’s Macbook Pro, an HD Camera, custom software and an Internet connection. The installation was live–streamed to YouTube where one can see the Macbook Pro on an office table inside Lund’s Berlin studio with an ever–changing background of landscapes. The computer ran a custom software that enables it to create paintings entirely on its own by scripting the movement of the mouse cursor and the keyboard. A viewer can see the cursor moving, buttons being clicked and brush strokes being made, all with no one in contact with the computer. The computer opens Photoshop and start creating a painting. It will use an array of symbols, brushes, and shapes, all relating to the idea of vacation and its opposite – work. Once the painting has been completed, the software uploads it to the website awayonvacation.live and posts it to the Artist’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. The Away on Vacation live–stream continued around the clock for two weeks beginning on the 24th of May, and by the time it stopped, it created approximately one painting an hour for an estimated total of 340 paintings. Curtains is a computer generated animation simulating two curtains blowing in the wind. The animation is rendered in black and white pixelated patterns, using early computer animation processes. Video projected in space, Curtains acts like a temporary virtual ornament draping material forms. The animation embodies an archetypal metaphor of the passing of time, obsolescence and change, and reflects on the projection of this metaphor as a virtual image. Two language–learning AI bots, presented side by side, have been put to learn nouns and verbs in the english language. One has learned words from news sources including BBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, etc, the other has learned from Alice in Wonderland. Both AIs are set to produce headlines of the form “If you see (noun) then (verb)” and reveal how different training sources can produce vastly different outputs. The work relates to automated journalism and fake news. GIF Salon consists of a projection of several GIFs in old, decorative frames hung salon-style on the wall. Though it does employ humor, the works probe a serious distinction in seeing GIFs on the web versus viewing them in galleries. Irena Borić will present the project net.cube. The project was designed by Irena Borić, Martina Kontošić and Renata Šparada, it began in January 2015 as part of the Center for Dramatic Arts program. net.cube has sought to provide conditions for artistic internet projects and to encourage local internet creativity, its contextualisation and mapping as well as communication among interested media actors. The program is performed as an internet gallery (http://www.netdotcube.org/) and a discursive program. Through a presentation of his own work in the last three years, Davor Branimir Vincze will talk about how “post-interenet art” is reflected in contemporary music. Where do modern technology, social networks, large amounts of data, binary vision of the world, the lack of understanding for everything that lies behind the various interfaces we use daily, find their interpretation as an acoustic experience. The Golden watermelon is made up of one or more artworks selected in the competition for artworks from the field of contemporary art, that are directly related to the theme of the festival and use new media and technology. The works are produced and presented at the festival itself. The author of the competition is Hrvoje Hiršl and the members of the jury are Oleg Šuran, Sunčica Ostoić and Marko Vojnić Gin, who also participated as advisers in the production phase. The competition “Golden watermelon” is intended for young artists from Croatia who are already working in the field of contemporary and / or new media art, interactive installations and interdisciplinary art practices. This kind of competition enables the development of the festival as a platform for the promotion of domestic authors (online and at the event itself), production of less affirmed authors’ work, linking domestic and foreign artists, and creating a place for sharing ideas, knowledge and experiences. Recent prehistory is an installation made of the best works submitted to the contest for the creation of visual materials inspired by decentralized networks. These are works in form of visual or audio material that romance old art or pop culture works, ideas and phenomena, approaching the most recent past in order to examine the boundary between today’s and yesterday’s trends, and between living arts and Kunsthistoricism; or distance themselves from a mere visual / auditory form, and approach the structure, medium, or technology that distributes them. The installation involves anything that can be projected or transmitted through speakers – texts, static or moving images, video or audio tracks – and the only limit is that the final digital record is not bigger than 10 MB. Workshop: Friday and Saturday, 18th and 19th August 2017, from 18:00 until 21:00, Tito’s park Age of participants: from 7 years upwards FabLab is an NGO founded in 2013 with the aim of helping the acquaintance with new digital production technologies, used primarily to include youth and enhance their STE[A]M skills. Its activities are conducted through three core missions: 1. Education, under the slogan “Create in School”, from elementary, high schools to universities and lifelong education, 2. Local communities, under the slogan “Give A Hands”, where new technologies are brought closer to the local community and associations with an emphasis on people with special needs, and 3. Entrepreneurship with the slogan “Generate locally, offer globally”, designed to promote entrepreneurship. The workshop is aimed at a better knowledge of the basics of 2D digitization and 3D printing. Workshop participants will be enabled to create their drawing or collage, which will then be transferred as a print on fabric, and the best work will become an object made by a 3D printer. Workshop: Friday, 18th August 2017, from 18:00 to 21:00, Tito’s park Presentation of the workshop’s results: Saturday, August 19th, 2014, from 18:00 to 01:00, Tito’s park Age of participants: 9 to 12 years DiA DAI SAI is a collective of architects who perform spatial exercises with children. With the full name Children and Architecture Section, under the wing of the Istrian Architects Society, the collective has been active since 2010, with the desire to contribute to basic art education in a dormant school curriculum, with an optimal load of one hour per week. In order to achieve this, DiA DAI SAI explains space through games, gestures, events, and intends to enhance the sensitivity to the 3D boundaries that in many ways define our reality. For this year’s edition of the festival, DiA is planning to stay in the space of longing as long as possible. There is no end to fantasies when we project the characters in the love game, so we wanted to play out a few imaginative romantic events, for which we will previously create a space frame made in clay. Will the GIF format, in which we will save our final product, contribute to the deconstruction of reality and imagination? – check it out and come to your own conclusions. The sediment always remains… The workshop includes the creation of several story frames (boxes) in which clay can be modelled as a scenery for a love game scene. Some places will be predefined (the underground tunnels, the small Roman theatre, the Kaštel fortress), and some will be created during the workshop. What we build and play out will be captured and edited in a GIF format. The final product will be screened the next day at the festival in Tito’s park. Free entrance Postmodernist concept of a musical culinary program that will allow the sounds of “modern classic” duo Ansamble da camera and a DJ program that combines ambient and electronic lounge music and organic foods made by SEK (solidary and ecological kitchen) and transforms the stay in the park in an unusual experience. The ensemble has been active for many years in various chamber ensembles and performs a repertoire of old masters, baroque sonatas, classical and romantic works, to contemporary compositions, jazz, and organic electronic music. The ensemble also performs under the name WunschBaum and creates authorial music using classic and electronic instruments. At the 19th Media Mediterranea Festival, they will present to the public an appropriate program for a chamber flute and clarinet duo with the addition of electronic instruments. The members of WunschBaum are Anamuhr (Anamarija Škara) and Sakadas (Branko Škara). He has recently produced and released music that combines electronic with ethno music. For this opportunity he has prepared two sets, an ambient–downtempo soundtrack for the Picnic in Tito’s park, and a free style set that varies from melancholic–romantic indie pop electronic music to explosive breakbeat–electro funk. Created as a natural extension of the SEG group and SET marketplace. The duo in the kitchen, Tea Janko Bevandić and Andreja Buić, are two kitchen lovers and everything that surrounds it. In the preparation of meals they use only seasonal, local and ecologically grown food combining tradition with modern culinary trends. They love to present their food by themselves and are always ready for action, and if you want the traditional Istrian panada, tomato salsa or pasta with carob, cucumber jelly or maybe watermelon pudding … just tell them. Two souls, two hearts prepare for you food with a face <3 A four–member association and collective of the same name – BukaNoise operates in the field of contemporary art, more accurately in fine art, performing arts and contemporary dance, film and video, and authorial music and DJ culture. Matko Banković and Marko Vojnić are concerned with the music section on more than one field. The association also runs the “5th floor” gallery in the fifth floor of Community centre Rojc’s corridor within which Matko Banković is in charge of music as a selector of funk & soul music. Foreigners Everywhere is an AV dub project by Matko (live visuals) and Marko (dub synth & live mix), and as a BukaNoise collective they perform back to back through DJ-ing and VJ-ing in more musical styles primarily based on the sound of the early 2000s and labels such as Ninja Tune, Warp Records,! Rinoma is a young and perspective artist and producer from Vodnjan (a small town in Istria) who started his career in the mid 2000s, working as a part of hip hop group DEM crew, where he assumed the role of producer and beatmaker. Sometime after, he founded the duo Soundcheck Regaz alongisde his friend and colleague Eric and together they released “Macchiato i čaša vode”, where his production steered more towards jazz and alternative hip hop, with live performances backed up by a band. A year later, he redirected his focus to a solo project during which his focus switched to Chill Trap/Electronic Beats and Trip–Hop oriented sound. The end result is an EP titled “We Can Fly” which is available as a free download on his SoundCloud profile. Currently, he is working alongside Koolade as well as on his new solo EP and with his long–time friend and collaborator MC Zmija on their second collaboration.]]> Location: Pula, Titov park Digital romance is a longing for the past, the irretrievable, a way of treating a new paradigm of media through the prism of old ones, new systems through old systems, the inability to distance oneself from old ideas. Are memes resisting the digital revolution by creating endless permutations of the appropriated content? By transforming historical styles to the level of absurdity they become deprived of any meaning, they become only the shells of the previous ideology – a lone ideology to which any other can “attach” itself. Memes as a strategy of cultural resistance, punk postmodernism, time without great narratives, nihilism of 4chan, the birth of Anon, Alt-right as a rebellion against Left Conservatism – all these are “meta-rebels” lost in constant mutations. New right-wingers, libertarians, transhumanists, anarcho-capitalists, mimetic social orders, our reality begins to look like Southland Tales, 99% of information is irrelevant – bait and smoke screen – a binary diversion. In the binary system, everything is constructed of two values, 1 or 0, YES or NO. Digital (binary) is in principle contrary to the romantic (emotional, impulsive …), although in the age of Tinder, YES or NO are the only option, and that’s a lot of YESES and a lot of NOS. Tinder is a practical example of implementing statistics in love relationships through the law of large numbers. Connecting two polarities into one results in neurosis, a struggle between “rationality” and “emotionality”, between mind and impulse, between natural laws and the subjectivity of consciousness. With the emergence of distributed networks, rapid infrastructure and a large number of users, millennia of cultural appropriation and gradual mutations accelerated exponentially, from one hundred years to a few hours. Meta narratives of pop culture, mixed with historical narrative, result in a rapidly developing pathogen, which spreads through digital networks faster than the Spanish flu. A good example of neurotic subjectivity in history is Romanticism, and then ideas that developed under the influence of Romanticism in the later centuries. Romanticism is the European artistic and intellectual movement of the late 18th century, which focused on emotions, individualism, nature, history, and appropriated elements of different historical periods as a resistance to the Industrial revolution. It is closely related to nationalism and is considered an introduction to the fascist ideology of the first half of the 20th century. After all, the artistic style of Nazi Germany was a combination of Greek and Roman art and architecture with elements of romanticism and heroism. The replication of certain periods for the purpose of false impression is the definition of kitsch due to the simulation of material or style of other periods and lack of authenticity. From the visual landscape of the margins of the internet, on forums (reddit), blogs, imageboards (4chan) and social networks, we can see how in the rapids of the digital stream ideologies are defined, communities, hybrids of social systems and synchronicity are created and social changes are triggered. In these nooks the monarchy connects with Silicon Valley (new feudalism), anarchism with capitalism (anarcho-capitalism)… what is at one time marginal becomes dominant tomorrow (Alt-right – The Dark Enlightenment). In the last few years, the term “post-Internet art” is often referred to. It includes a wide range of practices and works pushed under the same denominator. In its base, post-Internet art deals with the transition of the digital into the domain of the real, uses quotes of visual byproducts of digital processes and transposes them into material form, material reality. Unfortunately, they are mostly referred to the visual, and rarely go beyond the level of form, lost on the periphery of the system, instead of dealing with the system itself.

Ulaz na konferenciju je besplatan, a on-line registracije su obavezne. Konferencija Circolo Ulaz je besplatan Registracija je obavezna FB event Konferencijom Produkcijski centri – umjetnost i razvoj zajednice nastojimo okupiti relevantne dionike (kreatore regionalne kulturne politike, umjetnike i aktere iz civilnog, javnog i privatnog sektora čija djelatnost uključuje: suvremenu umjetnost, nove kulturne prakse, medijske kulture i kulturu općenito) kako bi omogućili jačanje kapaciteta kroz usvajanje novih znanja na temu umjetničkog djelovanja u društvenom kontekstu. Osim toga želja nam je potaknuti daljnji dijalog i jačanje partnerstva u stvaranju podrške izvaninstitucionalnoj kulturnoj sceni u smislu programskog umrežavanja, istraživanja u suvremenoj umjetnosti te osnivanja produkcijskog centra za nove kulturne prakse u Istri. Podrška umjetničkoj produkciji u Istarskoj kulturnoj strategiji (2009 2014.) tema je koja pokriva dva cilja, a to su podrška produkcijskim uvjetima u umjetnosti te razvoj publike i razumijevanja umjetničkog rada. Ono što je identificirano kao problem u Istri jest nedovoljno ulaganje u umjetničku produkciju, što se odnosi na nedovoljno ulaganje u sve resurse nužne za njen razvoj (IKS, 2009). Nedostatna produkcija uzrokuje niz negativnih trendova u istarskoj kulturi, od nemogućnosti zadržavanja kvalitetnih kadrova pa do prevelike orijentiranosti na uvoz programa iz drugih regija i zemalja i nedostatne međunarodne suradnje. Stvaranje boljih produkcijskih uvjeta stoga je jedan od najvažnijih ciljeva Istarske kulturne strategije. MP3 platforma prepoznala je značaj ovog problema stoga kao neformalna inicijativa zagovara bolje uvjete za razvoj produkcijskih uvjeta u izvaninstitucionalnoj kulturi. Nositelj inicijative za osnivanje Produkcijskog centra za nove kulturne prakse u Istri je neformalna mreža MP3 koja okuplja organizacije Metamedij, Labin Art Express, Sonitus, Faro 11, Apoteka – prostor za suvremenu umjetnost i Studio za vizualne komunikacije Tumpić / Prenc. Mreža je nastala kao izraz nastojanja okupljenih organizacija da se osnuje Produkcijski centar, koji je u Istarskoj kulturnoj strategiji za razdoblje do 2020. godine naveden kao jedna od aktivnosti nužnih radi ostvarenja strateškog cilja koji se odnosi na unaprjeđenje kulturne infrastrukture u Istarskoj županiji. Organizacije okupljene u mreži žele sudjelovati u osnivanju centra i namjeravaju biti jedan od osnivača centra po modelu civilno-javnog partnerstva. Produkcijski centar trebao bi funkcionirati po principu umrežene organizacije s vrlo malo vlastitog osoblja i u svome bi radu trebao koristiti kapacitete različitih organizacija iz Istre, Hrvatske, ali i Euorpe na realizaciji svojih programa. Centar bi služio za stvaranje vlastitog programa koji bi bio kompatibilan programu aktivnih organizacija u području suvremene umjetničke prakse, ali bi obavljao i servisne funkcije. Osim toga, važna dimenzija djelovanja Produkcijskog centra je njegova društvena uloga u samoj zajednici u kojoj djeluje. Društvena uloga produkcijskog centra vidljiva je u opsluživanju same zajednice kroz razvoj ne samo kulturnih i umjetničkih programa nego i programa u drugim područjima za koje postoji interes u zajednici. Na taj način Centar bi mogao obogatiti središte društvenog i kulturnog života u mjestu u kojem će biti izgrađen. Osnovne funkcije Centra su: produkcija, razvoj rezidencijalnih programa, edukacija, informiranje, razvoj publike, prezentacija, istraživanje i arhiviranje. Osim o samom Centru, kroz program konferencije planiramo se dotaknuti novih metoda suradnje, igara kao umjetnosti, ali i odnosa suvremene umjetnosti i novomedijske umjetnosti. Proizvodnja značenja, sadržaja i društvena uloga: mapiranje određenih sadržaja – premještanje fokusa na sadržaje i značenja kao mogućnosti društvene transformacije, kao pomak s dosadašnjeg interesa za formalno-medijska-tehnološka pitanja ispražnjena od društvene uloge i konteksta izazovi su koji stoje preda akterima područja novih kulturnih praksi. U okviru konferencije bit će održana izložba autora Darka Fritza i druženje u SKUC-u (Srpski kulturni centar u Istri, Pula, Maksimijanova 12).

Remiks identiteta je dugogodišnji projekt udruge Metamedij koji se provodi u okviru Metamedia Remiks Lab-a (kreativnog laboratorija DC-a Rojc) i glazbenog community studija Metamusic. Projekt istražuje mogućnosti za interkulturalnu komunikaciju kroz glazbu, remiksirajući tradicijsku glazbu narodnih manjina iz urbanih sredina sa suvremenom urbanom glazbom. …je producirati vlastite remikseve kroz grupni rad i stručno mentorstvo te educirati polaznike o upotrebi digitalnih alata za produkciju glazbe. Polaznici će imati priliku upoznati se s tradicijskom glazbom narodnih manjina na prostoru Pule i šire okolice, diskutirati na temu tumačenja pojma tradicije te analizirati recentne primjere novih načina postojanja tradicijske glazbe. …uključuje predavanja, diskusije i praktičan rad u grupama uz stručno mentorstvo glazbenika Gorana Farkaša i Nenada Kovačića te producenta Marina Morosina. Radionica nudi iskustvo multidisciplinarne radne grupe koje omogućuje istraživanje novih načina postojanja tradicijske glazbe. Kompozicije polaznika bit će naknadno objavljene na CD-u “Remiks identiteta” u izdanju udruge Metamedij. Prošlogodišnja izdanja poslušajte ovdje. Radionica je namijenjena mladima, studentima, te mladim glazbenicima i producentima. Uvjet za prijavu je: osnovno poznavanje sviranja nekog glazbenog instrumenta (trzalački, puhački, udaraljke, klavijature, itd.) ili pjevanja, te osnovno poznavanje rada u digitalnim alatima za produkciju glazbe (Ableton, Cubase, Reason, itd.) Mentori radionice su Goran Farkaš, Marino Morosin, a umjetnički voditelj je Nenad Kovačić. Multikulturalno društvo u kojem živimo svoje vrijednosti pohranja u različitostima, a da bi se one ostvarile nužno je da uspostavimo dijalog s “drugim ili drugačijim”. Upravo nam glazba pruža načine za njegovanje tog dijaloga koji predstavlja osnovu za suživot raznolikih kultura, pogotovo u Istri koja je bogata raznim kulturama i identitetima. Njihov je suživot i kreiranje novih hibridnih kultura doprinos Istre stvaranju zajedničkog europskog identiteta. – ponedjeljak 18:00 – Goran Farkaš: “Novo postojanje tradicijske glazbe: evolucija ili revolucija?” (Dnevni boravak, DC Rojc – predavanje otvoreno za javnost) 19:00 – Marino Morosin: “Tradicijska glazba u digitalnom okružju (Ableton Live)” 20:00 – ideje za rad/koncepti/rasprava – utorak 18:00 – 21:00 – rad u grupama: stvaranje koncepta i osnovnog aranžmana – srijeda 17:00 – 21:00 – rad u grupama + snimanje instrumenata po potrebi – 22. 10. – četvrtak, petak, subota 17:00 – 21:00 – rad u grupama + snimanja (umjetnički voditelj: Nenad Kovačić) Za sudjelovanje na radionici možete se prijaviti slanjem e-maila na adresu: contact@metamedia.hr Rok za prijavu je 15. listopada 2016.

Bijenala industrijske umjetnosti. Philip Vermeulen je mladi nadolazeći umjetnik iz Den Haaga, student na poznatoj ArtScience Interfaculty (Royal Conservatory & The Royal Academy of the Arts, Den Haag, Nizozemska). Vermeulen otkriva primarne pojave u svim vrstama različitih medija, zvuku, svjetlu, fizici i prirodi. On se igra i bori s njima kako bi izolirao stvari koje vidi u nastojanju da ih ukroti i s njima komponira. On gradi postave i prožimajuće instalacije koje izazivaju iskustava, propituju osjetila gledatelja i prenose ih u neki drugi svijet. Zahvaljujući potpori V2_Instituta za nestabilne medije (Rotterdam, Nizozemska) i udruge Metamedij (Pula, Hrvatska), Philip trenutno živi i radi u Puli gdje stvara svoj „Physical rhythm machine“ u prostorima udruge Metamedij i Sonitus. Instalacija je zatvoren sustav koji izbacuje loptice do 130 kilometara na sat kako bi stvorio zvučne obrasce putem surovog nasilja. Instalacija se ne može smatrati tek kao instrument kojeg Vermeulen može svirati uživo, već i kao autonomni sustav, koji stvara ritmove pomoću algoritama. Ona spaja grubu mehaniku i rane eksperimente pokreta klasičnog minimalizma. Ovaj je projekt izveden u sklopu projekta “Summer Sessions – mreže za razvoj talenata” u koprodukciji udruge Metamedij i V2_Instituta za nestabilne medije.

In 2015, the project was implemented at three levels: research, educational and artistic. The album was released December 12, 2015. …is a project of Metamedia Association which is carried out within the Rojc Remix Lab and the music community studio Metamusic. The research level of the project included the collection of traditional musical material of national minorities in Pula, Vodnjan and Fasana and the recording of these recent forms of performing traditional songs in a recording studio. The educational level of the project was carried out within two priority axes: a public lecture about tradition by the ethnomusicologists and musicians Dario Marušić and Goran Farkaš and multi-day workshops where participants learned about digital tools used for music recording. The artistic level of the project was carried on through the music workshop, the independent work of students of the workshop and the collaboration with musicians and producers at a national and international level. Through music, the culture of national minorities and the urban culture of young artists of contemporary music are brought into a dialogue that extends the worldview of both cultures and spreads ideas and emotions that empower the local, regional and European community. released December 12, 2015 Music editors: Toni Flego, Marko Kalčić Recording and digital processing: Bruno Legović Recorded and mixed in studio Metamusic Design: Oleg Šuran Editor: Marino Jurcan Production and realization: Metamedia Association Tema ovogodišnjeg programa je oživljavanje napuštenih i zanemarenih prostora u povijesnoj jezgri grada koji će se redefinirati i aktivirati kao prostori-događaji kroz umjetničke i performativne intervencije. Program obuhvaća široki spektar kulturnih aktivnosti (umjetničku kino-akciju, video rad, glazbene događaje, plesni performans, izložbu u izlogu, društvenu igru, okrugli stol te literarnu matineju) koje će se održati od 9. do 11. rujna na više lokacija u centru grada: “Terasa Tržnica” /Robna kuća Pula/, “Ex kino Beograd” /Giardini/ te “Kuća bez krova” /Ul. Hermana Dalmatina 5/. Više o projektima: Objekti u prostoru: radionica spekulativne dizajnerske prakse OTVORENI GRAD – intervencije u javnom prostoru Pule]]> #MM18 je rad koji je nastajao i nadograđivao se in situ za vrijeme trajanja programa Media Mediterranea 18 festivala kroz autorovo kontinuirano objavljivanje (post-anje) sadržaja. Oleg Morović (Pula, 1987) jedan je od novih i vrlo bitnih kreativno – artističkih inovatora grada Pule. Kako je u tom gradu završio Školu primijenjene umjetnosti i dizajna logično je da radi kao dizajner, gdje je svojim lucidnim grafičkim rješenjima već zadobio dužnu pažnju stručne, a i ostale javnosti. S Olegom Šuranom i Andijem Pekicem izdaje časopis za poeziju Polet. Kako je Oleg svestran, na Media Mediterranei neće gnjaviti svojim dizajnom već radom koji se zove (naziv je bitan) #MM18. Radi se o izravnom prijenosu (kao na televiziji) sadržaja direktnim upload-om na online platformu (instagram), a to se podiže (vidi naziv rada) s hashtagom/oznakom “#MM18”. Tako će prisutni uživo vidjeti što im se trenutno događa s potiljkom, leđima i tko im u uglu ljubi curu. Da li je ta tehnologija dobra ili loša procijeniti ćete Vi i Vaša cura kad se vratite doma, a možda i prije. (Mladen Lučić) Izvor – olegmorovic]]> Media Mediterranea 18 festival održat će se 19. i 20. kolovoza, od 18:00 do 00:00 sati, u Titovom parku u Puli. Tema festivala je “Post-it”, a program uključuje: novomedijske interaktivne instalacije i igre, multimedijalni kutak za djecu, radionice za djecu (Djeca i arhitektura; pArkadija, Tvornica zvuka), post-elektronske glazbene performanse, piknik soundtrack. Autor: Francisco Queirós Video projekcija: kozmička smrt. nema nijeme slike. moć. zmija koja pleše Kozmička smrt je vrlo reprezentativan rad umjetnika Francisca Queirósa, koji okuplja mnoge njegove interese: crtanje, glazbu (punk) i poeziju. U videu se nalazi nekoliko slojeva priča, u slikama, nijemih ili zapisanih. Postoje četiri priče koje su međusobno povezane: kozmička smrt. nema nijeme slike. powah. zmija koja pleše. Fikcije koje se križaju sa stvarnošću: ptica, beskućnika, jednog jaja ili pretpovijesnog kamenja. To je poput sažetog pregleda čovječanstva u kratkom vremenskom roku u kojem se bavimo zabavom, smrću i perzistencijom. «Nema nijeme slike» je ujedno i parola za ovogodišnji „Post it!“ festival. Autor: Gereon Krebber Konstrukcijski set Gereon Krebber je kipar vrlo eksperimentalne prakse, eksperimentalan u materijalima, oblicima i veličinama skulptura, ali i vrlo zainteresiran za dijeljenje svojeg iskustva kao praktičara suvremene umjetnosti. Ovi konstrukcijski setovi su instrument za samostalnu izradu skulpture Gereona Krebbera – kipar daje odgovarajuće upute, ali rezultat ovisi o vašoj vlastitoj sposobnosti da to učinite i izgradite ga, zatim možete preuzeti svoju skulpturu i objesiti ju na zid: Riječima umjetnika: “Ja sam te A4-bazirane DIY-setove izmislio za potrebe moje web stranice. Budući da nisam bio u potpunosti zadovoljan samo s virtualnim prikazivanjem radova na webu, oni na taj način postaju realni zahvaljujući najjednostavnijim sredstvima kao što su listovi papira. Na vama je da ih napravite sami. To nije samo jedina vrsta preteče 3D-tiska – prvi rad naziva ‘kutija s repovima’ je, koliko se sjećam, čak iz 2004 – to je uradi sam svog Krebbera, za kojeg se nadam da je razigran i pristupačan svima.” Ovaj rad u sklopu Media Mediterranea festivala je suradnički projekt umjetnika i javnosti u Puli, a bavi se minimalističkim skulpturama i autorstvom u umjetnosti. Autor: Ceal Floyer Zvučna instalacija Od 0 do10, Ceal Floyer mijenja povijesnu snimku lansiranja svemirske rakete Apollo 11. Suprotno predivnom otkriću Fritza Langa iz 1929, koji je izumio načelo odbrojavanja kako bi dodao napetost u filmu Žena u Mjesecu, umjetnica je odlučila preokrenuti odbrojavanje od 0-10. Ova vrlo mala promjena, koja je reprezentativna za njen umjetnički pristup općenito, uznemiruje slušatelje koje iznenađuje nešto modificirana snimka. Igrajući na zajedničkom slušnom poznavanju tog događaja, Ceal Floyer uvodi određeni element neobičnosti; ona dijeli karte povijesti na svoj način, i na taj način stvara drugi narativ koji izaziva našu percepciju vremena. Autor: Ignacio Uriarte Zvučna instalacija 1_2_3_4_3_2_1 je rad brojanja, u kojem čitatelj broji od jedan do deset, i popunjava vrijeme raznim intonacijama na gotovo ritmičan način. U ovom Post it! kontekstu njegov rad je putem odbrojavanja povezan s radom Ceal Floyer “0-10” koja preokreće odbrojavanje lansiranja Apola 11. U ovom slučaju monotonija brojanja predstavlja protok vremena tijekom “uredskog posla”. Autor: Ignacio Uriarte Zvučna instalacija Pisaće mašine, tko još uvijek zna za te strojeve? Oni su dio arheologije dizajna XX stoljeća. U ovom audio komadu Ignacio Uriarte ih snima u ritmu koji podsjeća na glazbu kompozicija Stevea Reicha, pružajući nam zvučno sjećanje na objekt koji ne vidimo. Ovaj rad koji će biti predstavljen u zvučnom okruženju Titovog Parka gotovo je anti-park rad zbog konteksta zatvorenog prostora ureda kojeg obično povezujemo s ovim strojevima. Rad Ignatija Uriartea je uglavnom fokusiran na crtež u kojem je glavni medij papir, i njegovu praksu u onome što možemo nazvati “uredskom umjetnošću” – što znači da koristi uredski materijal poput papira, olovke i BIC kemijske te istražuje sve njihove geometrije. Unutar tog svemira on također proizvodi video i audio djela koja bi mogli nazvati vriskom uredskog zaposlenika. Za ovaj festival na otvorenom odlučili smo se predstaviti dva njegova audio rada. Autor: Anselmo Tumpić Interaktivan umjetnički rad Rezultat ovog interaktivnog umjetničkog rada, odnosno izgled tragova na papiru nakon intervencije je potpuno nepredvidiv. Igrači neće biti fokusirani na tragove koje njihova “igračka” ostavlja već na igru i zadana pravila, a tragovi koje igračke ostave biti će naš krajnji proizvod. Mijenjajući pravila “igre” mijenjat ćemo krajnji izgled platna. U širem društvenom kontekstu, mijenjajući pravila koja upravljaju društvima mijenjamo konačni rezultat pravila koja utječu na naš život. Ta pravila ostavljaju tragove u našim životima. Autorica: Dragana Sapanjoš, udruga Mokar prst Osb ploče, neon Udruga mokar prst je u radu Fssssssssss analizirala dio neverbalne komunikacije koja nam je ušla u svakodnevnicu pojavom sms-a i nadalje, chata, maila… Tekstovni znak koji u nama, pukim gledanjem, iščitava osjećaj našeg sugovornika.

Osnovne premise glitcha kao reinterpretacijskog umjetničkog djelovanja na tromeđi umjetnosti, računalne kulture i kulture remix-a su narativ učiniti nepredvidljivim a medij vidljivim, te proširiti klasične paradigme suvremene umjetničke kreacije u nove oblike inkluzivnog transdisciplinarnog suradničkog djelovanja baziranog na otvorenom softveru, slobodnoj kulturi i prijenosu znanja, i apostrofirati značaj eksperimentalnih procesa umjetničkog istraživanja, a u svrhu stvaranja novog vokabulara kulture koja odgovorno i konstruktivno raste uz napredak digitalne tehnologije. Autor: Oleg Morović Interaktivna instalacija Oleg Morović (Pula, 1987) jedan je od novih i vrlo bitnih kreativno – artističkih inovatora grada Pule. Kako je u tom gradu završio Školu primijenjene umjetnosti i dizajna logično je da radi kao dizajner, gdje je svojim lucidnim grafičkim rješenjima već zadobio dužnu pažnju stručne, a i ostale javnosti. Tijesno surađuje s Olegom Šuranom pa taj dvojac suvereno vlada novom oblikovnom stvarnošću. Zajedno sviraju u bendu (Cnjotfiher), a u kolaboraciji s Andijem Pekicem izdaju časopis Polet koji se bavi književnim i likovnim objavama uglavnom navedene trojice autora. Kako je Oleg svestran, na MediaMediteranei neće gnjaviti sovjim dizajnom već radom koji se zove (naziv je bitan) #MM18.

(Mladen Lučić) Autori: Visiualia group Interaktivna instalacija Ova zabavna instalacija su tri svjetlosne glazbene klupice koje sadrže zvukove različitih instrumenata. Jednostavnim udarcem po površini klupica stvara se zvuk te posjetitelj na taj način stvara melodiju. Osim toga, spajanjem preko bluetootha na klupice, posjetitelj može pustiti svoju omiljenu pjesmu i uživati u njoj. Na Vama je da dođete i provjerite koliko ste vješti u sviranju na njima! Autori: sudionici natječaja za autorske GIF animacije; Autor natječaja: Dario Dević; Produkcija: Metamedij Video instalacija sačinjena od 15 GIF animacija Petnaest najboljih radova pristiglih do 16. kolovoza na natječaj za autorske GIF animacije organiziran od strane udruge Metamedij bit će prikazani u obliku video instalacije. Radi se o umjetničkim djelima koja kroz medij kratke internetske animacije tematiziraju aktualne promjene u društvu, umjetnosti , kulturi, čovječanstvu ili pak samim autorima.

Branko Škara i Anamarija Škara Ansambl djeluje već niz godina u različitim komornim sastavima te izvodi repertoar od starih majstora, baroknih sonata, klasičnih i romantičnih djela, do suvremenih skladbi i jazza, te organske elektroničke glazbe. Na Media Mediterranea 18 festivalu vam se predstavljaju s prigodnim programom u sastavu komornog dueta flaute i klarineta, flautistica Anamarija Škara i klarinetist Branko Škara. Marino Jurcan Iza ovog pseudonima krije se dj marino koji će za nastup na festivalu pripremiti dj set kao kombinaciju nespojivog; ambijentalne tišine i dinamičnih elektronskih ritmova, analogne romantike i digitalnog realizma. Tea Janko Bevandić, Andreja Buić Nastala kao prirodni nastavak SEG grupe i SET tržnice. Dvojac u kuhinji, Tea Janko Bevandić i Andreja Buić, dvije su zaljubljenice u kuhinju i sve oko nje. U pripremi hrane koriste isključivo sezonske, lokalne i ekološki uzgojene namirnice spajajući tradiciju sa modernim gastro trendovima. Svoju hranu vole predstavljati same i uvijek su spremne za akciju, pa ukoliko želite tradicionalnu istarsku panadu, šalšu od pomidora ili pak paštu sa rogačem, marmeladu od krastavaca, možda puding od lubenice… recite im to. Dvije duše, dva srca spremaju vam hranu s licem <3 Ante Prgin … je multi-instumentalist, bubnjar, udaraljkas, pjevač, producent i glazbeni inovator. Surađivao je i surađuje sa mnogim glazbenicima sa Hrvatske glazbene scene… Svojim beatbox projektom, čini se, spaja sva svoja zvanja i znanja u jedno, savršen funk, reggae, dub, dubstep, drum&base, afro beat, house i techno mix. SURKA radi beatbox sa mikrofonom i loop mašinama pri čemu stvara fraze od kojih nastaje kompletna pjesma! Nema unaprijed pripremljenih loopova, mp3-ca, CD-a ni sekvencera! Improvizacija svaku pjesmu čini neponovljivom jer, vođena atmosferom, nastaje u trenu. Njegov beatbox performans na tragu je najboljih svjetskih glazbenih inovatora poput Beardymana, DUB FX-a, Reggie Wattsa… Umjetnik čije vrijeme tek dolazi, što potvrđuju i nastupi na najvećim hrvatskim festivalima poput Terranea, INmusica, Pula film festivala, Cro A Portera, Rujan festa, itd.. Emil Jurcan … je solo projekt Emila Jurcana, člana pulskog benda “Palme”, glazbene sekcije zadruge Praksa. Svojim amaterskim pristupom muzici Palmiro stvara zvučnu kulisu služeći se posuđenim instrumentima i spravama poput ritam mašina, gramofona i analognih sintisajzera. Glazba koja proizlazi iz tog eksperimenta namijenjena je širenju ljubavi i komunizma. Marino Morosin … je mladi full-time producent i kako kaže, u slobodno vrijeme student. Aktivno djeluje od sredine 2000. Tijekom godina je stvarao u sklopu kolektiva DEM-crew (produkcija i beat making) te grupe Soundcheck Regaz s kojom izdaje album “Macchiato i čaša vode”. Nešto kasnije okreće se samostalnom radu s naglaskom na Chill Trap/Electronic Beats glazbu iz čega nastaje EP “We Can Fly”. Autor koncepta: Tamara Nikolić Đerić, kustosica-etnologinja; Dizajn: Studio Dota Contrada je prva tematska izložba koju organizira Ekomuzej Batana u suradnji sa Zajednicom Talijana “Pino Budicin”, rovinjskim osnovnim školama, predškolskim ustanovama i mnogobrojnim suradnicima. Cilj izložbe je valorizirati i promovirati tradicionalne dječje igre i boravak na otvorenom, te sjećanja iz djetinjstva kao katalizator društvenih promjena i kohezije. Izložba nudi iskustveni, autentični doživljaj uz mogućnost igranja starih tradicionalnih igara te novih digitalnih igara nastalih po uzoru na one koje su se igrale ’50. godina. Autor i voditelj: Zvonimir Lapov-Padovan, ing. politehnike; Uz podršku: LEGO kluba “Kockice” Igraonica omogućuje interakciju i upravljanje s LEGO Technic vozilima i robotima koji su spoj tradicionalnih i digitalnih igračaka. Sudionici kroz igru proširuju svoja znanja o Bluetooth i IR komunikaciji među uređajima. U okviru ovogodišnjeg festivala održat će se i dvije radionice za djecu. Radionice su besplatne i nije potrebno predznanje. U organizaciji radionica sudjeluju: DiA DAI SAI, Nenad Sinkauz, Porta Vitae – škola za strane jezike, Piccoli Terremoti. Voditelji radionice: DiA DAI SAI kolektiv arhitekata (sekcija Društva arhitekata Istre) – Daniela Škandul, Danijela Perčić-Tičić, Marta Bognar, Katja Regvat; Vrijeme održavanja radionice: petak, 19.08. 2016., od 18:00 do 20:00 sati, Titov park; Dob sudionika: od 9 do 12 godina DiA DAI SAI je kolektiv arhitekata koji izvodi prostorne vježbe s djecom. Punim imenom Sekcija Djeca i Arhitektura, pod okriljem Društva arhitekata Istre – kolektiv djeluje od 2010., nastao sa željom da doprinese osnovnom likovnom obrazovanju u zakinutom školskom kurikulumu, optimalnoga opterećenja od cijelih 1 sat tjedno. Kako bi to ostvarili, DiA DAI SAI prostor objašnjavaju kroz igru, gestu, događaj; i pri tom namjeravaju osnažiti senzibilitet za 3D granice koje na mnogostruke načine definiraju našu stvarnost. Ovom prilikom, u suradnji s udrugom Metamedij, a nadahnuti temom novih slojeva i zaborava, DiA će dekonstruirati vezu između Radauševe Pobune u Villefrancheu, ustanka naroda Istre, spomenika palim borcima NOVJ – žrtvama fašizma, univerzalnih simbola predstavljanja stradanja/otpora i načina reprezentacije bunkerirane memorijalne plastike… i pitat će: tko je tko? – ne bi li protagonisti sami objasnili kako i zašto (ovdje) stvari stoje. Osim toga, djeca će na uvećanoj mapi Titovog parka slagati pArkadiju – vječno sada, u kojemu post-čitanja ne iskrivljavaju ni doživljaj, ni namjeru, ni koincidencije.

Voditelj radionice: Nenad Sinkauz; Vrijeme održavanja radionica: petak i subota, 19. i 20.08. 2016., od 20:00 do 21:30 sati, Titov park; Dob sudionika: od 6 do 14 godina (2 grupe) Tvornica zvuka je radionica elektroničke i improvizirane glazbe za djecu pod vodstvom glazbenika i skladatelja Nenada Sinkauza. U ovom su se edukativnom projektu mali glazbenici budućnosti imaju mogućnost upoznati s mikrofonima, efektima, sintetizatorima… a kroz upotrebu vlastitog glasa (i tijela) i audio opreme Sinkauz ih usmjerava i uči osnovama improvizacije. U Tvornici zvuka glazba se proizvodi upotrebom različitih predmeta, efekata, live samplingom, moduliranjem glasa, ali prije svega igrom, kroz koju polaznici dolaze do svojevrsne instant kompozicije na nivou prilagođenom upravo njihovom uzrastu, percepciji i spoznaji o glazbenoj umjetnosti. “Pokušavam djeci objasniti da muzika nije samo ono što se čuje na televiziji, strofa i refren, da to nisu samo pop pjesmice niti samo klasična glazba. Veliki fokus stavljam na slušanje. Zapravo ih pokušavam učiti da slušaju jedan drugoga i to što rade. I pokušavam ih učiti svirati raznim predmetima, vrećicama za smeće, stiroporima, i tako dalje, i onda zajedno moduliramo te zvukove kroz efekte.” – Nenad Sinkauz Nenad Sinkauz (1980.) je magistrirao etnomuzikologiju u Padovi. Po zanimanju je skladatelj i izvođač u glazbenim, plesnim, kazališnim i multimedijskim projektima. 2002. godine osniva sastav East Rodeo u sklopu kojega surađuje s nizom međunarodnih jazz i rock glazbenika, spajajući avant-rock, živu elektroniku, noise, eksperimentalnu i improviziranu glazbu. Sinkauz je autor i izvođač u hvaljenom audovizualnom projektu … day of the year koji kroz improvizaciju i live sampling istražuje odnose zvuka i videa.
