Crossing Borders transmedia symposium

Area of Kruhovský Mill, Laškov, Czech Republic, 2019
LINK TO ARTISTIC RESEARCH

The main aim of Trans-Media Symposium is to create the platform for artists collaboration through reduction/limitation which will give an opportunity for creative insight into the issues of individual media, leading to their unconventional development and deeper research and communication. Canvases, colours, musical instruments, dance floors, cameras, projectors, reflectors, sound equipment, and computers with all post-production applications will be exchanged for environment - nature landscapes and materials and own being - body, voice, conscious meditation. Every individual present has its place and time to develop and explore his own view of its relation to creation; searching for deeper intentions and as well the sources of expression. This intensive research will lead to common debates and further deepening of the theme, both within the individual concept and in the group creation. These conditions will help not only artists, but also the disciplines themselves to find their way back to themselves. Instead of developing individual media in a specific way, artists will strive to cross borders and fill the spaces. Finding common points, a common intention to respond to what arises in the art process between different materials. This universal process of creation and expression, free from the art media diversity, along with the presence of a natural element, approaches the form of ancient rituals; it is essentially a mutation of the term inter-media to the term trans-media (pre-media).

HALÓ, PROSÍM! performance

Floating gallery (A)VOID, Prague, Czech Republic, 2019
Part of Prague Biennale Project: Magic Carpets 2019, topic of project: Public space

According the topic of the Magic Carpets project I opened the issue of public space as a platform for reality filtering. Everyone has the opportunity to move, present, exist within this common space. But what will penetrate through space from one person to another? How much we are able to target each other, to embrace our being. What do we want to see and what stays invisible to our eyes? Public space as a spectacle of society. The parable of a homeless / drunk who calls for attention is set amongst viewers as well as among randomly passing public. They have the opportunity to confront this individual directly, observe him impartially from a distance or simply ignore him. The viewers are physically disadvantaged in their view - the spotlights light in their faces and they wearing 3D glasses.
