Nika Oblak & Primož Novak - Sisyphus Actions (00:03:00)
Production: 2011
'Sisyphus Actions' is a kinetic video installation in which Nika Oblak & Primož Novak repeat monotonous, seemingly purposeless actions over and over. A surreal, absurd situation reflects contemporary global way of life, where people are trapped by daily routines and artificially produced consumerist needs.
Software synchronizes custom designed pneumatic system with a particular video, thus transferring 2D video image into 3D actual space.

Nika Oblak & Primož Novak - The Box (00:01:02)
Production: 2005
'The Box' is a kinetic video installation which shows Nika Oblak & Primož Novak being trapped, trying to escape to the outside. As they hit their fists against the walls of the interior surrounding them, trying to break through, each hit is visible, since the rubber bends outwards. The work is influenced by constant exposure to mass media messages and inability to avoid its effects. It evokes detachment, the possibility to exist outside prevailing systems. Oblak and Novak's attempt of escape...

Subtitle: part of the series Uncovering a Pig in a Poke

Small but dangers - Celavi_2.ppsx (00:32:00)
Production: SBD, 2013
The work is a PowerPoint presentation, as the title indicates. Two frames are silently and endlessly exchanged in a one second interval. Two found photographs are representing two yoga poses. Their constant interchange creates an illusion of movement according to the principle of stop-motion animation. In addition to playing with the media and visual content, also the title (which could be translated as Baldy_2.ppsx) contributes to the humorous notion of the work.

Danilo Milovanović - (Dis)connection (00:04:48)
Production: D.M., 2017
This intervention is a humorous, but actual reaction to the laying concrete on the public, living space. The idea requires a specific location that contains a grassy section interrupted with a concrete section. The grassy part must contain everyday use of a formed organic path, a shortcut. The intervention occurs with the covering of a concrete area with grassland-shaped surfaces that connects two grassy entities. A continuous 'organic' path is drawn, which connects the grass surfaces on the one hand, and o...
