Aksioma, a non-profit cultural organisation based in Ljubljana, was co-founded in 2002 by Davide Grassi. It is interested in producing, presenting and developing projects that take advantage of new technologies and protocols in order to investigate and discuss the structures of modern society. It collaborates internationally with several artists, museums, institutions, foundations, galleries and festivals.


Janez Janša (his former name being Davide Grassi) is a media artist, performer and producer of Italian origins who has been living and working in Ljubljana since 1995.

(2003) and DemoKino - Virtual Biopolitical Agora (2003-06). Recent productions include the projects Brainloop, The Satellite Night's Heat, the platform RE-act! and DK Radio.

As artist-in-residence, Janša lectures and leads workshops at universities and contemporary art institutes. Grassi has presented his work at the Manifesta 4 European Biennial of Contemporary Art in Frankfurt, Germany; ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany; ARCO, Madrid, Spain; ISEA 2002, Nagoya, Japan; Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Itau Cultural, Sao Paulo, Brazil; List Art Center, Brown University, Providence, USA; IASPIS, Stockholm, Sweden; the Slovene Museum of Contemporary Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia; the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest, Romania; and Kiasma, Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, Finland.
