Mission and projects
A successor to the former Open Society Institute – Slovenia programme, and its new media department led by Mitja Doma, Ljudmila has grown into a well-equipped digital media lab that focuses on digital production as well as education, research and development of hardware and software. It also provides knowledge, equipment, Internet access, websites, electronic publishing and other affordable networking services to non-governmental and non-profit organisations, art collectives, active individuals, and others.
Frida V. (Free Ride Data Acquisiton Vehicle) conceived by Luka Frelih is a free, mapping interface for bicycles that he first built for DEAF 2004 and has since been developing further. The rugged and comfortable bicycle equipped for efficient exploration and mapping of public urban spaces that carries a small computer, a GPS positioning device, an 802.11 wireless network transceiver, and a basic audiovisual recording unit, has been realised and presented in numerous cities all over the world: Ljubljana, Rotterdam, New York, Munich, Bergen, Beijing, etc. In 2009 a new all-in-1 Frida Box prototype series was developed, built, and test-ridden in Paris, France. In the beginning of 2010, Frida V. was exhibited within the exhibition Three Electromagnetic Habitats in the KiBela Art Space (Maribor) which also exhibited another work of Frelih and Robertina Šebjanič, developed under the support of Ljudmila as well. In April 2010 Frida V. was presented at the Linuxwochen in Linz, Austria.
Among its latest projects, Ljudmila hosts the project Culture.si which offers information on Slovene cultural producers, venues, festivals, and support services, all in one place. Supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, the project is realised in cooperation with an editorial team, a number of writers and programmers, and a graphic designer.
International co-operation
Ljudmila operates through KUD France Prešeren Arts and Culture Association and is a member of the European Cultural Backbone (ECB) initiative and the regional media centre network "A.Network", as well as being a founding member of the M3C Multimedia Centres Network of Slovenia. As a public lead for the project Creative Commons Slovenia, Ljudmila is also a member of the international networks Creative Commons and Communia.
Artist-in-residence programme
Ljudmila also occasionally hosts a residency programme for artists working with new media. The residency programme in November and December 2009 was produced by Ljudmila and the MoTA- Museum of Transitory Art programme run by CodeEp. Nedine Kachornnamsong (Thailand/Sweden) received her M.Sc. in IT Product Design in Denmark and completed her MFA at Valand School of Fine Arts, Sweden with her specialisation in new media. By conducting research-in-practice with a focus on social interaction, spatial conditions, and tangibility, her works reveal a state of contemporary. Currently, she is working on questions related to the possible integration of online representation and experience into a physical environment. In December Nedine Kachornnamsong gave a Digital dish lecture entitled Monitor and Display: An Image of the Ghost in the Machine at Ljudmila, while her Yes/No/Maybe interactive installation and experimental social event (transforming online dating elements into a physical setting) took place at Ljubljana's Museum of Modern Art.
Awards
In 2004, for its work as the Slovene epicentre of digital creation for group projects and autonomous artists and researchers, Ljudmila was bestowed the Golden Bird Award for the section of new media.
