Colours in Motion @ LUMINA!
17 09 2018The LUMINA Festival of Light has the pleasure and the privilege to, once again, light up the nights in Cascais from 21 to 23 September 2018. The Festival dedicates its 7th Edition to Colors and Shapes.
With contemplative projects, light installations, immersive video mappings, performances, parades and interactive projects, the Festival’s purpose is to celebrate colors and forms in all its nuances, senses and aspects, but also to allow visitors to freely interpret different forms of expression, interact and participate in the artistic works, providing them with an unique experience.

COLOURS IN MOTION
20 04 201812TH INTERNATIONAL LIGHTING GUERRILLA FESTIVAL: COLOURS
Opening > Friday, 11th May 2018, at 21.30
Ljubljana
In the time of the 12th edition of the international Lighting Guerrilla festival, Ljubljana will again come to life with a series of light installations that will illuminate its city centre.
Marko Batista will present his new project entitled Colours in Motion. It is an interactive light-musical project that enables the audience to create their peculiar sound and visual environments in a playful way by means of different sensors and controllers. This kind of interactivity represents both an artistic and technological challenge since the idea is for the audience to be able to affect the moving visual images and contribute to the electronic sound landscape in real time.
The project thus encourages the audience to make the qualitative step forward from a passive recipient, who only listens and watches, into an active contributor – not only in art, but in their lives and society in general.

FLUID PARTICLES OF VULCANIC ASH
19 10 2017Cultural Centre TOBAČNA 001, Ljubljana
Opening of the exhibition will be on Friday, 27 October at 7 p.m.
The exhibition Fluid Particles of Volcanic Ash is part of a multiannual project in which Marko Batista prompts the viewer to reflect on the problem of modern post-fact society in relation to technological progress. Technological systems are not perfect, predictable, self-contained and complete, but rather unstable, and it is precisely this point that serves as the premise of Batista’s exploration.

LOKUS:303
20 09 2017Marko Batista, Srdjan Deba, Boštjan Čadež
23rd September 8 pm–10:22 pm Šance, Ljubljana Castle
‘ART IN PUBLIC SPACE” EVENT
The intermedia project entitled Locus:303 originates from the installation Electronic Church by Marko Batista and Srdjan Deba (production Aksioma 2014, coproduction Forum Ljubljana) from 2014. It is an electroacoustic light sculpture that intervenes in the medieval architecture of the space.
The installation is a part of the ‘Art in Public Space’ event with the aim “… to emphasize the signifcance of contemporary art and to show its importance in public. The desire is to establish an equal partnership with urban planners and architects, as well as other creators of the public sphere. It is about connecting the elements between disciplines, between theoretical standpoints and practical use, between academic concepts and actual efectiveness” says curator Matena Bassin.

MARKO BATISTA @ AKSIOMA
9 11 2016SONIC GEOMETRY OF SPACE
sound art exhibition
Aksioma | Project Space
Komenskega 18, Ljubljana
16 November – 9 December 2016
Opening hours: TUE-FRI 12 pm – 6 pm
In his works Marko Batista analytically thematises DIY electro-acoustic processes at the intersection of electronic sound, technology and contemporary art. His exhibition in Aksioma will be on as a prototype of a hyper-acoustic capsule. The ambient set-up designed by Marko stems from long-standing sound experiments, for his work is based on the exploration of dynamic self-generating systems and the phenomenology of sound resonances in space.
Spatial sound, which is characteristic of Marko’s work, is created by means of aesthetically designed modular interfaces and prototypical acoustic resonators, which were designed especially for the exhibition. The material for the exhibition derives from the inventions of the previous millennium; the show problematises the processes of the production of electro-acoustic artefacts and processuality.

FLUID PARTICLES VOL.1
10 06 2016On display
Beyond the Globe | 8th Triennial of Contemporary Art – U3
Curator: Boris GroysOpen: 3 June – 18 September 2016,
Moderna Galerija – Ljubljana
The author explores perception through physical properties of electronic sound in relation to the environment in which it is created. The sound sculpture is comprised of modules based on experimental electro-chemical physics. The whole system is forming a hybrid electro-acoustic environment which maps the architecture of sound in space.
Electric impulses travel through a series of chemical fluid substances, vulcanic ash material and combine into sound stimuli. The author raises questions about the structure of matter in relation to the molecular stability of universe itself. The sculpture emits a dynamic frequency selection of waves, which change with regard to the oscillation of value between electricity and chemical processes of the present reagents, through which the system is becoming a living organism with the aesthetics of the so-called “space sound”.
“The exhibition presents many possibilities for the artistic exploration of the topic at hand: the connection between artistic and scientific imagination, the cosmos as analysis of sci-fi culture, perspectives of corporeal immortality and critique of contemporary technology.”

BEYOND THE GLOBE
30 05 2016Beyond the Globe | 8th Triennial of Contemporary Art – U3
Curator: Boris Groys
Opening: 3 June 2016 at 8 p.m., Moderna Galerija
In the time of globalisation we have learned that we are dependent on everything that happens around the globe – politically, economically, ecologically. But the Earth is not isolated in the cosmos. It depends on the processes that take place in cosmic space – on black matter, waves and particles, stellar explosions and galactic collapses. And the fate of mankind also depends on these cosmic processes, because all these cosmic waves and particles go through the human body. Mankind’s dependence on cosmic events that are uncontrollable, even unknown, is the source of a specifically modern anxiety – one could say cosmic anxiety.
The 8th edition of U3 brings an important change: it takes the exhibition outside the national framework. The new concept of U3 focuses on a dialogue between Slovene space and other contexts that are relevant for it. In this it follow the good practice of certain established “peripheral” biennials that focus on their specific time and place and function as a platform for produced meanings and contents with long-term, positive effects on their spaces.
