Retrospective exhibition Powered by Ljudmila at City Gallery Ljubljana has presented the role and activities of an important local centre of media art creation and a think tank for implementation of new technologies in the field of culture Ljubljana digital media lab – Ljudmila.
The curator of the show and editor of the catalogue Alenka Gregorič has invited Miha Colner and Ida Hiršenfelder to undertake primary research of the laboratory’s history dating back to the beginning of the 1990s and explore the pioneering years of public Internet use as well as the proliferation of local new media art which still holds importance in the international media-art geography. The two authors produced a text on media archaeology and Ljudmila’s recent history and artistic production.
