The spirit of EEII’10 (Experimental Electronic Interventions) is  here
again.

Happening on 23rd of September in Blue Room (Plava soba) at AKC Medika, Pierrotijeva 11, Zagreb, EEII’10 is open to creative minds for consensus-driven, collaborative art-making from 10 am to 10 pm.

How does it work? Bring your project, sound creator, VJ apparatus, dance, idea… and join others in working day of collective creativity. Idea is to join individual creations into collective work, that will be presented at the end of the day.

textual tool for creativity: http://piratepad.net/29tbNHHdV5

Also, whole event will be streamed at http://www.ustream.tv/user/eeii10

As part of EEII happenings, Upgrade!Zagreb is contributing with
inviting the special guest, artist Ralf Schreiber, http://www.ralfschreiber.com .

Ralf is offering a workshop, not in its strict sense of a master having workshopers, but more on the line of ‘working together’. In this practical workshop, participants can build their own individual sounding modules and/or simple solar robots. The fundamental circuits are the suneater and the solar soundmodul. The basic workshop concept is non profit (participants pay only for the electronic parts).

Organised by: UKE, CSDVU and AKC Medika

Maja Petrić is an artist and predoctoral associate at the University of Washington’s Center for Digital Art and Experimental Media (DXARTS). She holds a Masters degree in new media art from New York University, Tisch School of the Arts, Interactive Telecommunications Program and Masters degree in journalism from University of Zagreb, Croatian Studies.

Her work explores methods of manipulating spatial experience in function of art. Through transformative spatial experiences, she aims to create new opportunities for accessing the sublime – transcendent qualities, whether physical, emotional, intellectual, metaphysical or artistic. By means of experimentation with both technology and traditional materials, she creates spatial installations for facilitating new interpretations and incarnations of the sublime.

Her approach to invention and exploration of new forms in digital and experimental art combines principles of architecture, lighting design, audiovisual systems, multisensory devices, electrical, mechanical and software engineering.

Umjetnica Maja Petrić trenutno radi kao znanstvena novakinja na doktorskom studiju Centra za digitalnu umjetnost i eksperimentalne medije (DXARTS) Sveučilišta Washington. Završila je magistarske studije na sveučilištima u New Yorku i Zagrebu. Na njujorškoj Tisch School of Arts na studiju nove medijske umjetnosti magistrirala je program interaktivnih telekomunikacija, a na zagrebačkim Hrvatskim studijima novinarstvo.

Njezin rad istražuje razne metode manipuliranja prostornim iskustvom u svrhu umjetnosti. Iskustvo prostornih transformacija nastoji potaknuti nove načine pristupanja sublimno – transcendentnom, bilo da se radi o fizičkom, emocionalnom, intelektualnom, metafizičkom ili umjetničkom. Prostorne instalacije za nova tumačenja i inkarnacije sublimnog ostvarene su kombiniranjem i eksperimentiranjem suvremenim tehnologijama i tradicionalnim materijalima.

U istraživanju i osmišljavanju novih oblika digitalne i eksperimentalne umjetnosti, u svojevrsnom spoju kombinirana su rješenja arhitekture, dizajna svjetla, audiovizualnih sustava, multisenzornih uređaja, električnog, mehaničkog i softverskog inženjerstva.
