Past projects by Automata
The Automata artists realised a number of projects, particularly in the context of video art, digital photography, video and sound installations and Internet multimedia installation. Their work is often thematically linked with research of human body and physicality, especially representations of disciplined bodies (project Dinamo, for instance) and social manifestations of sexuality. They are also dealing with the world of mass media, disclosure of ideologisation, social conventions and in the narrations of Western culture.
Some of their most important projects are Hardbody (2003) which combines various media and content, series Plasma (2003) - perfume art project constructed from elements of fashion and glamor of material that documents the media scandals, documentary style digital photographs Allergies and others.
The work was summarised in a monograph Collaborative Works by Tanja Vujinović, Zvonka Simčič, Jan Kušej and Dunja Kukovec in 2004.
CrossCommunityCreation projects
The institute produced projects by Zvonka T Simčič such as the performance New Allegories, Second Dynamics - installation and performance and ad utero, ab ovo (2007) – a project referring to the author's personal experience – becoming a mother by artificial insemination. The project was used as a basis for the performance Festivity - Emptiness "PrazNIČnost" by Zvonka T Simčič and Franc Cegnar presented on the exhibition Re-production in Sofia Arsenal - Musem for Contemporary art in 2011.
CCC's video production also includes the Obsession (2008), Naked Freedom (2010) and Decoloniality (2011) by Marina Grzinić and Aina Šmid. The videos have been presented on many important exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad. For example, the Naked Freedom conceptualizes the possibility of social change under the conditions of financial capitalism and has been presented at the City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts, at Performa Festival in Kunstraum NIEDEROESTERREICH (Vienna), Calvat 22 Gallery (London) etc.
Sound plays an important part in the production of CCC. The CCC Institute includes the Uluru Ensemble, an ethnic experimental ensemble (established in 1998) that participated at the City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts in 2007.
CCC also co-produces an interactive audio visual installation in an urban area Putting into Sound. The project has a form of a special concert connecting nature, visitors and artists: Zvonka T Simčič, Borut Savski, Franc Cegnar, Miha Tomšič, Katarina Živec Kovač, Ksenja Jus and others. Since 2009 Putting into Sound has been upgraded and presented every year in park Lipnik (Ljubljana Castle) and at Zbilje lake.
