BIO

Petra Milički (HR), is a media designer-artist currently based in Rotterdam. Her work and research topics range from the collaborative "hacking" of exhibition systems to the theoretical, political and social implications of the changing politics of memory and monumentalization. Her methods mainly revolve around the interpretation of collectivly produced found material (offline or online), and the facilitation of participatively made content.

ABSTRACT

A performance-lecture based in the specific context of the former Yugoslavia, and the phenomenon of the social behavior on YouTube, that developed to the point in which pop music videos serve as monuments, (triggering emotional reaction) (that span from nostalgia to fierce political divisions). The topic opens up to consider the more general theme of monumentality in the age of the post-brodcast media. The installation makes a monument to a past performance-lecture. (leftovers)
