We are informing you about the project of our coworker Miha Kelemina, head of SCCA's programs World of Art and Studio 6.

Victor Pardinho: DigitalFraction, 2016, still.

VideoWall is an open air video gallery, an ever-changing graffiti, with a new video loop being presented every two weeks. Each work is screened daily between 9 pm to 1 am in autumn and 6 pm to 2 am in winter. The works are in line with the context of the street and open-air video gallery.
Authors who applied through an international call were selected by Pila Rusjan, video artist and author of the project, are Eriz Moreno, Metka Zupanič, Kika Nicolela, Yuliya Molina, Vesna Bukovec, Lina Rica, Nez Pez & Marko Kolarič Gavez and Victor Pardinho.

DigitalFraction | Ljubljana is a video piece from a series of the artist’s video works in which a digital and distorted vision of a city or a place is created using real-time three-dimensional techniques and tools. By scanning a space through several photos at different angles it is possible to create three-dimensional models of it while keeping the physical structure textures, which later are used to construct a new view of the space itself influenced by the vision and feeling of the artist. It can then act like a mirror of the surroundings or an extension like a portal to a digital invisible dimension of the space or the city. It aims to connect this digitalised fraction of the space within the own local residents and also to confuse the audience and raise questions about our contemporary relations within our cities and our lives through technology, where the line between what is actually real and what is virtual starts to fade away.
