New media projects

Aksioma has produced many projects by Janez Janša, such as DemoKino (Virtual Biopolitical Agora), an anti-entertainment interactive film questioning modern democracy. Demokino was a virtual parliament that provided participants the opportunity to decide about the questions of life.

The Institute has also produced several projects by Sašo Sedlaček, including his overview exhibition Supertrash (a coproduction with Koroška Gallery of Fine Arts and Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana). Set up at the Koroška Gallery of Fine Arts and the Jakopič Gallery, it showcased the selection of Sedlaček's projects created during the last ten years.

In 2012 Aksioma Institute ran the first successful crowdfunding project in Slovenia, which enabled the postproduction of the My Name Is Janez Janša documentary film. The film focuses on three Slovene artists who officially changed their names into the name of the Prime Minister of Slovenia, Janez Janša in 2007.

Some of the notable performances produced by Aksioma are SilentCell Network, an artistic network for interventions in public spaces by Mare Bulc, Janez Janša, Bojana Kunst, Igor Štromajer; Nicole Blackman's performance The Courtesan Tales in Café Belvedere, Vila Bled where visitors could order the courtesan's service a la carte; paraSITE by Michael Rakowitz and Brainloop by Janez Janša. Brainloop was an interactive performance platform that utilised a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system, allowing the subject to operate devices merely by imagining specific motor commands. In the second part of the performance, Brainloop was used to compose a custom soundtrack.

Publications

Aksioma published a catalogue of Davide Grassi's selected works in 2004, DemoKino - Virtual Biopolitical Agora, a book edited by Ivana Ivković and Janez Janša (2006), Janez Janša's biography (2008) written by Marcel Štefančič jr and published by Mladina and co-produced by Maska Institute and Aksioma; and RE:akt! Reconstruction, Re-enactment, Re-reporting (2009) among others.

Many of the catalogues are bilingual, for example a monograph of the late Slovene photographer Diego Andrés Gómez (2007, in Slovene and Spanish) or Signature (2010, in Slovene and English).

Aksioma publishes or collaborates with others to publish a brochure for its exhibitions. Aksioma brochure #1 Name Radymade was published in 2010 (the catalogue with the same title was published two years sooner by Museum of Modern Art). Since then they publish about six brochures per year and the publications are available online as well.

Aksioma also released some albums, an album by the Bast collective Bast – Retinal Cirkus (2007) containing improvisations recorded at Klub Gromka, during the project Burn Out produced by Aksioma.

Cooperation

Aksioma Institute cooperates with many other institutions, for example with the Kapelica Gallery with which Aksioma has co-produced or co-organized many projects, H220 by Marko Batista in 2010 being one of them. They also cooperate with Match Gallery (exhibitions EKMRZ by Ubermorgen.com, 15 objects by Peter Rauch and Fuck the System by Eva and Franco Mattes), Koroška Gallery of Fine Arts (exhibition Signature, for instance), Museum of Modern Art (exhibition Triglav in Mala Gallery), P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E.
