THE VOID Team is very happy to announce their collaboration with the 25th edition of the International Festival of Contemporary Art Practices Pixxelpoint, co-presented by the Nova Gorica Arts Centre and Aksioma – Institute of Contemporary Art, Ljubljana.
Under the artistic direction of Janez Fakin Janša, the festival explores the potential of fiction to reconstitute a relationship with a world ravaged beyond repair through an international exhibition spread across four venues, an experimental discursive program, an audiovisual and musical program, a podcast series, commissioned writings and workshops.
In this context, THE VOID was invited to produce two different discoursive and performative programs and a workshop in our hybrid Pop-Up Streaming Studio.
Full schedule:
November 8th
Eroding Boundaries: Temporal and Spatial Decay in a World Beyond Repair
Time: 19:00-21:30
Location: Mostovna, Nova Gorica
Curators: Dominik Vrabič Dežman, Klara Debeljak
Participants: Room69, OMSK Social Club, Vid Koprivšek, Alberto Harres, Mario Santamaría, msn gf, Dorijan Šiško
Live A.V.: Tommaso Campagna, Jordi Viader Guerrero
This two-part program delves into the transformative potential of spatial augmentation and temporal decay. Part panel discussions and part news broadcast, the program traverses the intertwined landscapes of economic speculation, infrastructural shifts, and the fluidity of media time. Along the way, new narratives emerge, challenging and reshaping our understanding of technological progress and control. As artists dismantle and reconstruct new worlds, the decay of the present moment diffracts into the future, illuminating new temporalities and spaces of being, as we accelerate into the void.

Intensity and the Conditions of Expression
Time: 15:00-17:00
Location: Bookstore Cafe Maks, Nova Gorica
Curators: Maks Valenčič, Jan Kostanjevec
Live A.V.: Tommaso Campagna, Jordi Viader Guerrero, dj final form
This joint lecture attempts to show the relationship between culture, cultural expressions, and the way in which this relationship can be understood in an increasingly concrete and generative way.
Each cultural expression depends, among other things, on the given conditions of expression, which contain various relations to the totality of all possible expressions so conditioned. The history of this totality is, therefore, the history of the conditions themselves. This lecture examines recent changes in the conditions of expression and explores what these changes reveal about culture in the age of the information and computational revolution. In so far as intensities are tied to expressions, retroactively or otherwise, such a method of tracking changes in the conditions of expressivity can help us understand the way in which cultural production is intensified today. As conditions become more concrete, we can also use them as lenses to map intensities.
This interactive lecture gives examples to directly demonstrate how this method works.
