This years MMKamp focuses on new media work and specially on collaboration between Belgian, Check and Croatian organizations for possible further collaborations and events in 2010. Full program is comming soon.

Microphone was changing hands and peoples view on: politics, economy, student issues, festival events, squatted building of Medika and many other.

Short video shows atmosphere around the radio:

Podcast files from the Medika broadcast:

FTR was placed among desks where music distributions, zines, books, pamphlets and other informational materials could be found from Croatia and other parts of the world. People could freely interact and participate in program making of the radio. Also exchange place was built so one can leave something they dont need, like an old book or record and exchange it for something they find useful.

Every year Fair is visited by alternative publishing houses like ‘Što čitaš’ (What are you reading), international guests from Hamburg with project called Cafe Libertad and many more.

Antenna was set up more than 7 floors high and most of the Rijeka could be seen from there. Unfortunatelly 7 floors are lots of walk when one has to go up and down because of kable problems. So word of advice: test and retest your cables before you set them up.

Movie from the final performance at MMKamp

MMKamp ‘08 started on Tuesday 02nd July. Artists and scientist from Switzerland, Croatia and Brazil will exchange knowledge and collaborate on sound situations that could be created in space of dodecahedron sound installation.

This installations has been constructed and build during 2 years project in ICST Zurich and has it’s first installment at MMKamp for experiments in artistic usage. Open collaboration process between participants of MMKamp is searching for best ways how to interact socially, how to interact on creation of the code for different computer applications and finally how to interact in creative production.

MMKamp ‘08 participants >>

FONA took place in multimedia Center ‘Palach’ in ‘OK Gallery’ and was curated by Branko Cerovac. MMC Palach is for more than a decade place where non institutional and alternative art has been created almost in spite of all the obstacles that politics, institutions and after-war black economy can initiate. In similar position as most of the autonomous cultural spaces in Croatia only defiance and enthusiasm prevailed for this excellent manifestation to happen.

FTR was a huge success on FONA. 98 FM had broadcasted more talks, music and seen more hands on microphone in a short time than ever before. Young people understood the radio immediately and started playing their favorite hits from mobile phones.

Branko Cerovac and Krešimir Kovačićek gave a broad insight in FONA and matters that surround it. Other actors on Rijeka scene were here to discus, scream and laugh, invite others to participatate on the radio.

As this year’s theme was Art&Criminality, a free radio, more popularly called pirate radio, was used also to invite local police for opening of the exhibition. They were the ones that would benefit the most from this cultural event. Instead of police an inspection appeared. Easiest way to close down the event is to measure more decibels in the air than law allows, but luckily festival speakers didn’t go above 87 and as 90 was allowed inspection sticked around to check again and again. No luck for them.

Beside FTR there were different exhibits, performances and live music act in the MMC. In the middle of them was a radio receiver playing materials that were broadcasting in another room. People were scrolling between two rooms to talk and listen to the free radio program.

Many thanx to organizers of Fona and others that helped and to Monteparadiso Hacklab who borrowed FM transmitter.
