Hi!
My name is Zeljko Blace. When asked to introduce myself professionaly
I usually end up talking about different types of work I do rather
than saying I am artists, media practitioner, cultural networker, art
manager, ICT researcher, VJ, organizer-curator-journalist, wanna-be
programmer... doing all of these things from time to time but not often
enough to claim any of these titles.
Luckily there is an organization in Zagreb, CROATIA that tolleraits
such
work (Multimedia Institute and it's net.culture center "MaMA" and
mi2lab)
(in past 3 years at least). I am founder of regional alliance of new
media
culture centers/labs in South-East Europe "a.network",
nettime-see moderator and one of the main developers of experimental
temporary media lab/space of Travellab called Split.Connect.
My interest in this topic are quite wide. I am researching succesful
implementations of collaborative web-tools (to feedback into our own
software development effort), sustainability of virtual infrastructures
and their social dynamics and most of all new modes of
presenting/interacting with hybrid media (mostly for my research
candidacy
at KHM.de)... :::...:: ::.:::...:..:.:: .. .. ::..::: .. ::.:: ..
