Site-specific installation digital art entitled Strom slov (Tree of words) was introduced at the park of Milan Rastislav Štefánik in Trenčín after twilight. The piece of art opens up the subject of ecology, climate and even history and a relationship between a human and the nature. The installation art consists of a sound projection on a specific branch of a tree which transforms into a 3D talking head. This sexless face of an “avatar” tells a fictional story having support in historical events. A once in a lifetime experience with elements of surrealistic and supernatural overlap.

The piece of art is a part of CL!CL! The research is funded by the Slovak Arts Council from public resources in the form of scholarship. The project was financed by the city of Trenčín – Mládež grant.

No refreshments will be offered during the event and in order to keep the surrounding nature clean it will be imperative to follow the rules set by the organizer. Culture and nature have a lot in common. They should be available to everyone, a tourist with an artist and a skier can squeeze in, maybe even together with a sensitive and civilized developer who directs his/her activities towards a tolerable framework bounded by the public interest.

The title “NOCTURNO” comes from the word “nocturno” which is a translation for night music or instrumental music that is played outside, as for example a serenade. The night during the NOCTURNO should also be like a song, a beautiful music of visual arts.

Artists like Arter Eniac from Kremnica, who has created a lot of graphics for the city, artists from the civic association TRAKT with their piece of work entitled Strom slov (Tree of Words) created by Lukáš Matejka and Štefan Oliš in cooperation with Alexandra Rychtarčíková and Viktor Vilkovský and a piece of work entitled Modrá planéta (Blue planet) by Štefan Oliš, artist Ivana Laila Drobná, Ové Pictures art group or a group of young architects will be presented. The programme is going to be accompanied by a lecture dedicated to the history of Zechenter garden, a Andy Switch concert or a movement performance by students of the Department of Dance Creation of the Academy of Performing Arts.

Site – specific digital installation entitled Strom slov reflects the history of Zechenter garden in Kremnica and, at the same time, opens up the themes of ecology, climate or history and of a relationship between people and the nature. The installation consists of sound projection on a specific branch of tree which transforms into a 3D talking head. This sexless face of an “avatar” tells a fictional story with the support of historical events which is connected to the specific place and to the specific chosen tree. A once-in-a-lifetime experience with elements of surrealistic supernatural overlap is thus created.

Short, but that much powerful videoprojection is a conceptual work of art that is broadened by a certain illustrative idea of an artist. The projection is strongly focused on the current issues of climate change and its aspects. It primarily bets on the subject matter of the work of art and its main idea. The goal is to “shake” the spectator and leave them with an emotion worth thinking over.

Videoart/mapping projections entitled KL!KR! (CL!CR!, translator´s note) react to and work with the theme of climate change. Each one of us imagines something different under the notion of climate crisis. Art research carried out by Mgr. art. Lukáš Matejka, ArtD. and a team of contemporary artists relies on collecting oral-personal interpretations of the climate crisis from a wider spectrum of people (children, youth, adults, pensioners) also reaching out to different social classes. These “notes” define some kind of a subject matter or sub-themes for the micro artworks of the project.

Following this is searching for locations which define the places for the implementation of projections intervening in the public space. The new map (Trenčín and surroundings) shows locations where the three time-limited site-specific performances will take place for 3 nights. In total, the project will introduce 9 independent visual artworks to the public. Each artwork will be documented in detail followed by postprocess/ post-production.

The final stages are defined by a thorough selection of presentable photographs for an exhibition in a gallery space. Following the exhibition is a creation of an expanded online concept – in text (professional text) and in picture (photographs, photo documentation, video) on a website.

“The project follows and processes various local and personal views/ attitudes/ understandings/ misunderstandings/ conspiracies into artworks within an important global issue.”

The realization of the project was funded from public resources in the form of a scholarship by the Slovak Arts Council. The implementation of the project was financially supported by the city of Trenčín – youth program. More information will be added.
