General Treatment by Tomislav Pokrajcic

Time to move on and finish my covering from Device_art 3.009 with Croatian artists. Excuse me for small delay in my blogging, but last week I had an opportunity to partake on Wearable Technology Workshop led by Abigail Stiers and Alexander Gross in Ljubljana (Slovenia).

25FPS interview with Jana Debus on Gregor Alexis

I’m back! After short hiatus due to some private reasons, I’m ready to blog in more then three lines, dear readers. Here we have a short video interview with film maker and photographer Jana Debus made in the production of 25FPS  International Festival for Experimental Film and Video.
