To be included in the network, the work of art must meet the condition of employing a text. The text serves as a password unlocking the next artwork/ author. To move to another artwork, spectators need to type out the text included in the artwork into the chosen window on the web. The author may employ the text in any manner without a restraint on the medium, however it must be readable for the visitor of this network. The text may become the main theme of the artwork but that does not mean it must be its only and main element. The author creates the text him/herself. The selection criteria:

• quality of the artwork
• the way the text is set in the context of the online space
• complying with the technical conditions to fulfill the function of the project

The artworks of any genre and form (visual, audiovisual, audio, literary, painting, performance, choreography, recording, …) reacting to the particularities of the internet space or the current social issues or self-representation are welcome. The artworks created solely for the exhibition project as well as works of art of older date are welcome. The concept of the exhibition project is not otherwise limited by a theme.

Throughout the week was filming a movie called Night News. Daniela Slávikova’s work was also attended by students of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Trenčín from the field of photographic design.

Thus, secondary school students had the opportunity to cooperate on a joint project with the Studio of Audiovisual Art of Tomas Bata University in Zlín. Students had the opportunity to directly experience film production and its creative process. During the workshop they also created their own outputs in the form of photographs and videos. During the main shooting day in Munich they could also try the action in extras. Professional film technology from Tomas Bata University was used during the project.

This project allowed professional shooting to be linked to a practical workshop. Projects of a similar type in which the university cooperates with a secondary school are very rare. However, they provide a wealth of experience for high school and university students learning new collaborations. Students of the Academy of Arts in Trenčín still have a theoretical part of film preparation and discussion with filmmakers. The project was organized by the civic association TRAKT, which has long been active in the field of art and education throughout Slovakia.

The film was shot for 4 days at 3 different locations. 2 places were located in Trenčín and 1 in the Munich time center, a cultural house.

You can look forward to a cultural program from local artists, as well as a table tennis tournament, dance workshops and children’s theaters. Refreshments will be provided by two local food trucks offering fresh street food.

If you would like to enrich this space with your own activities, please contact us and we will be happy to include you in the creative programming process.

The condition that a work must meet for networking is working with text. The text serves as a password for moving to the next part / author. In order for the viewer to move to the next part, he must describe the text from the work to the selected line on the web. The way the author processes this text is not restricted to the media, but must be legible to a visitor to this network. The text may also be the main theme of a work, but it is not a condition of being the sole and principal expression element. The author creates the text himself. The selection criterion is:

the quality of the work
the form of setting into the context of the online space
compliance with the technical requirements for the fulfillment of the project function

We welcome works of every genre and form (visual, audiovisual, audio, literary, painting, performance, choreography, recording, …) responding to the specifics of the Internet environment or current social themes or self-presentation. Welcome works are created directly for the exhibition project, but may also be an older work. The concept of an exhibition project is not otherwise thematically limited.

The project has an independent and non-commercial character.

The project was sponsored by the Slovak Arts Council.
