Appendix2 is an alternative state of urban landscape. It constitutes the
in-between spaces of symbolic discourses that question the distributive net
of the physical and immaterial, the diffusion of ideas and environments, and
contemporary art practices in intensive communication with the urban
residues of media, public, and net spaces.
Appendix2 is a continuation of the 2004 Appendix project, where we presented
multimedia artworks in the public landscape.
Appendix2 consists of short video works and interactive, computer based
works that will be displayed in the gallery and interventions in the
soundscape of the city center. Small scale mechanisms (automata), made of
sensors that will react to movement and small broadcasting units, will be
hidden at several locations in the center of the town. Sounds will be
activated by passers-by and therefore they will intervene into the structure
of the town soundscape.
 
The artists presented: Eric Dyer (USA), Rick Fisher & Don Rice (Canada),
Philippe Hamelin (Canada), Nicolas Provost (Belgium), Tanja Vujinovic &
Zvonka Simcic (Slovenia), Irina Birger (Netherlands - Israel), Judith
Nothnagel and Hubert Baumann (Germany), Jaka Železnikar (Slovenia), Jernej
Lunder (Slovenia), Karl Jensac (Austria), Helmut Schäfer (Austria).
 
Appendix2 will additionally present Euroscreen21 2005, a compilation of
short video works by various European artists, curated by Judith Nothnagel
and Hubert Baumann. They conceived the Euroscreen21 projects in 2002 as a
flexible media platform for European artists and cultural institutions. The
DVD compilation consists of numerous video works and will be featured in
approximately twenty galleries and museums in Europe and beyond. This
compilation of video works will be projected from the 22nd until the 28th of
August 2005 in the front window of Kresija Gallery in Ljubljana. You can
obtain more information regarding this project at

Automata Public 2005 projects are interactive sound interventions installed
at several locations within the town center. The sounds were created by
various authors (Karl Jensac, Helmut Schäfer, Tanja Vujinovic and Zvonka
Simcic, Jernej Lunder) who deal with experimental and computer-generated
sound. Sonic interventions test relations towards the media, capital, and
identity through the implantation of art-gestures into everyday, working
circulation.
