Background
During the 1980s, Marko Košnik collaborated with several artists (Vinko Tušek, Marko Kovačič, Andrej Šušteršič - Sar, Zoran Smiljanič, Irena Rajh, Polona Sosič, Andrej Pibernik, Max Osole) and alternative groups (Junajtit Adis, Laibach, Cavis Negra, Most, PTL). In fact the name of the institute first appeared in the context of the group Most (Bridge) which consisted of Bojan Štokelj, Etbin Stefančič, Marko Košnik, March Davorin, Edi Marinček, and others, when in 1986 Marko Košnik announced EMI as a long-term care for concepts, theoretical texts and documentation of the projects produced as collective efforts in unstable conditions, with projects and groups not long lasting.
Collaborations and projects in the 90s
EMI's first larger production was Bellum Contra Solem, a spectacle in the urban environment, for the celebration of summer solstice 1991 in Nova Gorica, conceived with Marko Kovačič and Bojan Štokelj, performed by Mojca Dimec, Sebastijan Starič, Katja Kacin, Marko Kovačič, with collaboration of Črtomir Nanut, Mojca Pungerčar, Simon Bizjak, Silvo Zupančič, Andrej Trobentar, Metka Megušar Bizjan, Irena Tozon Mrhar, Branko Erjavec, Anita Lopojda, Miran Ipavec, Pavel Okorn, Aleks Vičič, Rado Filipčič, Borut Cajnko, Samo Oblokar, Renato Strgulc, and Miroslav Hadžič–Leča - under the group name “Fusnet Association”. The same year a video documentary of the project, produced by Andrej Kregar was premiered on Slovene national TV.
In 1991 Stvar – Das Ding – The Thing, a scenic performance with sonorostatic plates (Marko Košnik in collaboration with Etbin Stefančič, Andrej Trobentar, Smiljan Šiška, Silvo Župančič, and Špela Virant) was presented in Hfbk Hamburg and Cankarjev dom in Ljubljana, following the same concept by Membrane, a sonorostatic performance for the opening of the Ostrannenie Festival at Bauhaus Dessau in 1993 (Marko Košnik, Silvo Zupančič, Borut Savski, and Špela Virant).
In 1992 EMI produced and coordinated Piazzeta Ljubljana within the Van Gogh TV Piazza Virtuale - 100 days of interactive tv for documenta IX in Kassel.

Figure in Space, Man in the Case was a three day author-active installation in ŠKUC Gallery in 1993, with Marko Košnik living closed-hidden in a wooden box to control sound and video surveillance system in order to capture movements of the visitors, who had to find live video screening from security cameras on a travel through the gallery rooms kept in total darkness. Site specific acoustic sculptures were built with Silvo Zupančič.
Cukrarna [Sugar Factory] was a dance performance with synchronous video and electroacoustic music (Marko Košnik in collaboration with choreographer and dancer Mateja Bučar, dramaturg Špela Virant and Borut Savski in the role of sound technician, premiered as an opening performance of the Mediennbienale Leipzig in 1994. In Slovenia performance was premiered in Cankarjev dom Linhart Hall and repeated in Kapelica Gallery in 1995.
