Mahničevstvo (máhničevstvo -a s (ȃ) Mahničevi kulturni in verski nazori: boj z mahničevstvom)

Čeprav je Anton Mahnič k tej štoriji pritegnjen na videz na silo, se bo, kot bomo videli, tvorno vključil v naše ljubiteljsko besedovanje o sodobnem stanju v kulturi in še posebej v umetnosti. Nadškof Mahnič, ki je prešel v slovensko kulturno zgodovino kot izrazito negativna osebnost, nima zveze z umetnikom Dominikom Mahničem, katerega razstava je razlog za materializacijo tega ... more

Te misli so se porodile ob prebiranju prispevkov na blogu Alenke Sottler Kreativni razred – http://kreativnirazred.blogspot.com/. Prebiranje je vzpodbudila objava Alenkinega pogovora z Mileno Kosec glede njenega sodelovanja pri mednarodnem projektu Artist on Hiatus (Umetnik na oddihu). Zdi se, da če stvari domislim na papirju, se potem izvijem iz enodimenzionalne linije razmišljanja. Na nek način se razpre površina, ki je večdimenzionalna in bolj kompleksna. Pisanje je sicer spet povratek na... more

A few observations about the squatted Rog factory in Ljubljana
/for the seminary Precarious spaces/dreams, Graz 3rd, September 2009/

First of all I have to state that I am not an official representative of Rog but a member of one of the initiatives that occupies a space in Rog – the Cirkulacija 2. This statement also reveals the ideologic situation in the ex-factory Rog. But since the situation now is closing its “t... more

About the project Basic Questions…

Author: Borut Savski

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.

Although it may seem that the te... more

Posodi polni zvoka je bila predvidena struktura nastopa v Moderni galeriji v Ljubljani (september 2005). Kljub (ponovno) problematični izvedbi (gibljiva objekta – dve posodi, nista bila končani pravočasno…), pa sama struktura drži tudi za prihodnost.

Abstract
It looks like the main point of this text is methodology of finding (one or more of) the complementary “views/ images” of the same topic. The new point of view has no absolute value. It however widens the horizon (-> looking/ seeing from above…). The complementary principle... more

SONIC POINT OF VIEW is a modular installation, that was supposed to “connect Heaven and Earth” with very simple means. The emphasis is on creating “an image of wholeness”. Therefore, every possible “connection” that would arise needed to point out to this elementary dualism of “Heaven and Earth”. A number of other similar interpretations, from various sys... more

Naslov je vzet iz ust Nade V, večne blebetaške legende RŠ, urednice revije Ambient in ene od komedijantov v vlogah predstavnikov “intelektualnega lobija” nedavno minule podelitve Viktorjev.

Pa saj že kar nekaj časa govorimo o dizajnu in umetnosti, etiki in/ali estetiki, funkcionalnosti ali nefunkcionalnosti, o primarnem motivu, ki določi točko ovrednotenja… Dogodki nam sočasno pritrjujejo.

Kdaj pa je umetnost sploh spremenila svet? Ali je umetnost politika? Revol... more

POVZETEK

Estetika strojev je esej, s katerim se skušam približati razumevanju ločnice med stroji in ljudmi, vendar na način afirmacije nekaterih lastnosti stroja (avtomata), kadar ta ni uporabljen ali zgrajen povsem običajno – kot linearni odzivnik (reakcijsko), ampak ima vgrajeno določeno mero avtonomnosti (nepredvidljivosti) odločitev, torej se odzivajo nelinearno (oz: interaktivno). Na ta način tudi uvedemo kompleksnejše razumevanje pojma interaktivnosti. Kompleksni stroji sicer š... more

Internet – pretežno prazen prostor neskončnih prostranstev, neizvedenih idej in izziv za domišljije polne. Skratka (navidezni=virtualni?) novi Novi svet. Med raznoliko množico dejavnosti bom poiskal tiste, ki se zdijo, da imajo kaj skupnega z radijskim medijem, oziroma splošneje – komunikacijske (informacijske, estetske,…) kanale.

Občasno se kaj internetovsko medijskega dogaja celo na valovih Radia Študent, v popolnočnih urah, pod ozna... more

Zelo blizu začetka komunikacij je bil telefon. V osnovi prav tak, kot je danes. Telefonu nihče pri zdravi pameti ne pravi masovni medij. Je dvosmerni komunikacijski kanal med dvema točkama. Telefonski sistem tvori množica takih kanalov – je torej paralelni sistem. Sodobna različica telefonskega sistema je – Internet! Vendar je Internet več kot to. Lahko je tudi distribucijski sistem po vzoru običajnih medijev!
