15. Children Of Adam and Eve

After succesfull collaboration on a short movie One Hundred Dogs, Jan Cvitkovič invited me again to make compositions for his project Children Of Adam And Eve, staged in National Theatre Nova Gorica. Shortly after begining of rehersals he asked me to join them with efektor. It was intense, focused, strict, upredictable and exciting.    I have to react very precisely, follow the rhythm of silences, words and gestures. So different experience from following musicians or playing on click. The play started to grow from Jan's text, dedicated actors become alive and words were slowly transforming into voices. My compositions were following them and becoming together with them. You never go so far as when you don't know where you're going. That's the principle of creativity and principle of human history. We all are children of Adam and Eve, walking through time, following ideas, falling into history.

12. Concert for efektor and two 3D printers

  

I was invited to prepare a solo performance with two 3D printers for MFRU – KIBLIX 2013 (International Festival of Computer Art) organized in Maribor by Kibla. Initiator of the project was curator Jože Slaček and Jan Sterniša joined as 3D printer operator.

The project capitalizes on the acoustics typical of plastic wire 3D printing processes. Two printers will be printing two different objects, causing different sound effects, but due to the typical repetitive movements there is a chance of occasional synchronicity. The rhythmic background is enhanced by my performance on efektor. The entire performance is topped off by a video projection consisting of 3D animations and a live captured recording.

The story of 3D printing began in 1986 with the invention of stereolitography, which uses thermal lasers to manufacture individual forms from raw materials. This gave rise to the development of 3D printer models that represent modern-day desktop printers or “personal factories”. Today, 3D printers are the technology that anticipates some of future’s greatest changes. The expectations are immense: manufacturing of clothes, medicine, food and even human organs. The scheduled program will shed some light on the possibilities of 3D technologies and their creative use.
