OFFTIR is an artists association with two main focuses: OFF operates with a visual production and TIR with a sound one. They have been collaborating on different levels already in the past and a kind of cohesive thread of their artistic language could be described as the thematizing of the current conditions for participation in the production of culture and the articulation of their ideas about art, current situation of an artist in the art system and in the scheme of quality of life. In their modes of operation the DIY (do it yourself) and DIWO (do it with others) principles prevail and are obvious in the way how they collaborate, communicate, connect their various knowledge and get self-organized. They also tend to invite visitors of their projects to actively participate; they address them to form their own opinion towards exhibited objects and towards them, the artists themselves. Their relation towards authorship is also worth mentioning: namely, they don't bother about any particular artistic expression; they rather sign the projects under a collective authorship.
