The exhibition of works by students of the FAA, Belgrade, Costume design department and ENSAD (Ecole Nationale superieure des Arts decoratifs), Clothing design department, Paris

The project has been initiated with the aim of developing the dialogue between the students of these two schools, who study clothing and costume design, and through the research and the exchange of information on the perpetual cycle of human wear. Trying to find the source of inspiration in the wealth of their own history and studying faraway cultures, the students have aspired to find the new forms and esthetic values.

POLITIKA: FROM WOOD TO PIXEL

History of visual changes of the oldest daily in the Balkans

According to the readers, Politika is a synonym for tradition, constancy, conservatism, safety... However, its graphic development represents a constant sequence of changes that have followed technological innovations, economic and social turmoils during 103 years of its existence. The new image of Politika is only one of those changes. The front pages, layout, typography and advertisements, represent not only the survey of design history of a daily, but also the exciting historical journey from the Kingdom of Serbia to the Republic of Serbia.

PROJECT "TITANIUM" - DIGITGROUP

Monday, May 07, 2007
Rectorate of the University of Arts, Kosancicev venac 29, room 25

The project has been conceived as a creative interactive workshop, in which  DIGITGROUP members, together with the visitors, design a WEB site in real-time, in the previously prepared matrices.

Using various media, such as photography, sound, video and text, which are immanent in the spatial event at the given moment, the artists incorporate the abovementioned contents into the previously prepared matrices, reshaping them in a specific way. Using the software for post-production of sound, photographs and video images, as well as the software for montage thereof and the text with the advertising content in the background, the active material (everything that is created by the very presence of the visitors) is critically selected, added, and designed for the finished WEB site. What is interesting about this project is the fact that this WEB site is interactively active 3 hours, from the beginning to the end of the event, and it will be active, as a promo-material, an advertisement, in the following period.
