We are pleased to invite you to an online talk on the exhibition Digital Milk by the artist Petra Mrša. The talk will take place on Thursday, January 19, at 6 p.m live on Facebook (Center Sodobnih Umetnosti). The artist will be interviewed by Kaja Kraner.
In-depth research of the phenomenon of playing computer games, i.e., gaming, in the digital space, has been front and centre in Petra Mrša’s artistic practice for several years. She looks to bring the medium and context of video games closer to the viewer from multiple aspects, and underscores the expanded use of technology from its useful to its social function. Her projects, pronouncedly process-oriented, deconstruct the stereotypical ideas of gaming. They are based on cooperation and are created together with the young who share a passion for video games.
