The second lecture this autumn:

David Dronet: Station Mir-an example of a contemporary multimedia 
laboratory Thursday, 6th November at 8 PM in Kapelica Gallery, 
Kersnikova 4, Ljubljana. 

David Dronet will present Station Mir (Multimedia-Interactive-
Research), a multimedia laboratory for research, creative and 
educational activities in the French town of Caen. For the operation of 
the station lead by the artistic collective Trance Femel Co (anagram of 
the French Telecom), the following notions are of key importance: 
exchange, network, reciprocal connections, communications, intermedia.

With a constant search and testing of new interactive media 
possibilities the collective's desire was to enable easier access to 
media also for other artists and thus encourage reciprocal exchange. 
Influenced by two of their members, David Dronet and Stephan Zanini 
(who were interested especially in the dialectics of communication and 
interactivity and their tools, which happens to represent also the 
medium of their artistic practice) they established Station Mir in 
1995. 

The station operates as a satellite, a transmitter and receiver of 
multimedia research and production. This flexible research and 
production centre is today an irreplaceable link of the contemporary 
media and artistic scene in France.
 
The lecture will be in English.

Entrance free of charge.

You are cordially invited.
