Dalibor Martinis does not want to introduce a subjective interpretation of the past, and he calls it ‘Data Recovery’. The author uses this term to describe a ‘partial recovery of lost data from the memory without the context that before the loss used to give them a positive, informative, social or other meaning. Just like the lost computer data, which is sometimes recovered only in fragments, disconnected from the original files, this process attempts to recover parts of actions, events or situations which have disappeared in our

collective memory loss. What matters is that such event should not be contextualized through interpretations, historical constructions or manipulation of the lost memory. History is a perpetual stream of confabulations, spontaneous production of false memories.’ On September 4, 1974 Dalibor Martinis created a video titled ‘Still Life’ which depicts a television set whose screen shows evening TV news. 35 years later, the author created a TV news which featured him reading the news exactly as transcribed from the 1974 evening programme. The TV news show was modern and contemporary regarding the aspects of technical characteristics, the equipment, design and the additional information presented on the screen (stock market information etc.) and only the content of the news belonged to a past era, past ideology and the former country.

Gelfand and Domnitch investigate wave phenomena to uncover the ephemeral workings of perception. They create performances and installationsthat exist solely as sensorial phenomena in constant flux. Their work entitled Sonolevitation features a 15 kHz standing wave generated between a transducer and a reflective surface. The sound creates focused pressure fields strong enough to enable levitation. Slivers of gold leaf are suspended in the air, and their disturbance of the standing wave creates the performance.

The authors will perform the work for a maximum audience of three persons at a time.

Dear Edita, I took these photos recently as we took off from Dubrovnik Airport, I was lucky to be on the first flight after the volcanic ash incident. The photo quality isn’t very good but its a great view of Orebic, Korcula, Lumbarda, Kuciste, Viganj and finally Loviste.
All the best, Jason

Thank you Jason for these great photos

In Island Paradise section of May 2010 issue of Panorama magazine – the official in-flight magazine of Ukraine International Airlines (UIA), Korcula is featured as “homeland of Marco Polo“. Additional sentence ‘The ancient Greeks discovered this island almost 2000 years ago and for a long time Korcula (www.korculainfo.com) remained their favorite holiday destination..’ is happy surprise for me and my site too
