2024: Pianinino Concertos & Studies

Klavirski koncerti seveda na ravni elektronskega vmesnika z zvokom klavirja. Kljub temu odigrano skrajno resno pred živimi publikami z vsakič okoli 30 do 40 obiskovalci.

2023: Herman + Savski : Pure Music

Čista glasba je tista, ki je povedna sama po sebi. Ne potrebuje vsebine / družbenega konteksta. Je ideja (ne potrebuje telesa?). Nastaja kot logična (cerebralna?) dejavnost (glava brez telesa?). Je ideal, ki se mu približuje z redukcijo elementov družbenosti (družabnosti?). Čista glasba ni iskanje naravnih vzorov ali naravnih virov – ni mimetična.

2023: Castrati: Vibration speakers

With vibration speaker the sound is created by transmitting vibrations to any material of much larger dimensions than the vibration surface of the speaker motor. I used a special, particularly light wooden panel – folded into a cylinder.

2019: AI_SI touchpad Piano

AI_SI Piano stands for a midi trigger device based on a touchpad system found in any laptop computer – brought to a form of an oversimplified instrument that acts as piano. It was a fast idea from a recent real piece of a dream of mine. In dream i would just bang with my finger on a touchpad – and this sounded as a “veritable” piano (in dream…).

2018: TwinSpeaks

Twin Speaks je umetna dvojica v dialogu. Dialog je sestavljen iz gibov in glasov. Oboje izhaja iz telesa in je pri živih bitjih zlito v eno – gib povzroči glas in glas povzroči gib. Podobno je dialog abstrakcija na ravni vzajemnega odnosa, kjer zlitje poteka med dvema v dialogu vpetima stranema. Gib dobi protigib in glas dobi protiglas. Seveda se lahko v idealnem primeru glasova tudi združita v eno pesem. Ali razdružita v nepovezano besedičenje.

Mesijanstvo in žrtvovanje sta tesno povezana. Mesija, ki se ne žrtvuje ni pravi odrešenik. Mesija, ki ni nedolžen, je lažni odrešenik. Seveda sodobni svet ne potrebuje odrešenike, potrebuje pa nedolžne: potepuhe/ nomade, posebneže/ samosvoje posameznike, ki govorijo resnico, delajo po svoje in ne po njihovo, ne vstopajo v nesvete gosposke vaškomestne zarote, zavračajo gospodstvo, omogočajo in ne onemogočajo, zagotavljajo pluralnost in ne pridigajo nasilja.

2015: Tako umira Pravični II

Menda je referenca znana: Kristus na križu umira za naše grehe – alegorija arhaičnega žrtvovanja bogovom. Nasilje, ki se izvaja na preseku dveh nasprotnih pravičniških pozicij. Svet hibridnih realnosti – red je kaos in kaos je red – popolnoma nepregledno.

Festival PixxelPoint 2015 v Novi Gorici
Things have names, when useful and used. The things keep their name when they are recognizable by their former function – even if they are later put in a different context. Such as, for example, a gallery. The drainpipe is still a drainpipe, the toilet bowl is still a toilet bowl.

2015: Wardenclyffe Tower

je parafraza na preokupacijo Nikole Tesla, ki je na prelomu v 20. stoletje v ZDA postavil eden prvih brezžičnih oddajnikov (-> Wardenclyffe Tower). Njegovo vzporedno idejo o enem radijskem oddajniku za cel svet, ki je bila brez dvoma tedaj humanistična, vendar je v zgodovinski perspektivi fašistična (na drugi strani je množica “volksempfaengerjev”), uporabim na način sodobnega ljudskega sprejemnika – “kreiraj sam svojo glasbo”. Torej inverzija originalnega principa, ki pa je sodobni humanistični princip. Wardenclyffe T je glasbeni instrument, ki proizvaja omenjeno skladbo.

2014: “Vrednota” ni enako “vrednost”

Problem tega sveta je, da vedno večji del ustvarjalnih ljudi ni ustrezno vključen v sistem sociale in ekonomije. Da je polje svobode in ustvarjanja vedno manjše, ker je determinirano s pozicijo izvzetosti iz ekonomije in s tem tudi iz sociale. Zasužnjenost v polju ekonomije (in sociale) pa je vedno večja.

2014: Hibridne realnosti

Pred časom sem v nekem tiskanem mediju naletel na komentar, ki se dotika trenutne družbene situacije v Sloveniji. Avtor je povzel mnenje nekega beograjskega misleca, da je najhujše kar se je zgodilo (v Srbiji) razgradnja družbenega tkiva – uničenje socialnih vezi, ki so povezovale različne družbene sloje, skupine – vertikalno in horizontalno. Torej predvsem razgradnja zavesti o medsebojni povezanosti in posledično: odsotnost družbene empatije.

Cirkulacija 2 – Total Art Platform: Zvok organizma – Organizem zvoka – mednarodni mini-festival, ki se ukvarja z mejnimi področji med umetnim in naravnim, vprašanji inteligence, socialnosti in življenja skozi metaforo zvoka. Pri vsem tem je zanimiva predvsem nejasnost pojmov na tem mejnem področju – življenje, inteligenca, naravno, umetno, zvok, glasba, estetika kot bazično zaznavanje ali tudi že kot kvalitativni presežek običajne pojavnosti – in celo: umetnost ali ne. Torej: organizem, organizacija, kompozicija, vzorci, struktura, nestruktura, kaos, nered – zapognjeno na začetek.

A figure of a ballet dancer standing on toes of one foot is an archetypal symbol of human’ aspiring to perfection (»moving, looking upwards, uplifting«), which was transformed into a ballet technique of dancing on toes in the »classical« bourgeois art of the 19th century. It was during that time »that the aspiration to God« was being increasingly replaced by the »aspiration to perfection« in all areas of creativity.

2006: Basic questions

The project is a paraphrase of the title of the painting by Paul Gauguin (Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?, 1897/98), that (seemingly, at least to me) wanted to move the pivot of art from aesthetics to ethics. After more than a hundred years it looks like art has managed to get rid of the beautiful and is now dealing with questions of human existance.
