1. Did the avant-garde become materialized in new media? : techno-performance and socializationNarvika Bovcon, Aleš Vaupotič, 2025, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: This contribution builds on Lev Manovich's thesis that avant-garde procedures were incorporated into the very operation of software, as the computer as a meta-medium completely transcodes the reality. The text examines the foundations of computer science in mathematical formalism and considers Turing's computing machine as a starting point for the generative aspect of computer art. The generative art-making was practiced also in the neo-avant-gardes. Data processing introduces into today's world a decoupling between understanding and agency that was once thought to require active thinking. Juri Lotman's idea of periphery-centre dynamic explains the shift of mechanical and (once) avant-garde procedures to the center of the globalized culture. At the same time, the image of a human is radically changing as she finds herself in a new homogeneous environment made of information: she becomes an inforg (Luciano Floridi) together with artificial and hybrid agents. Identity as informational integrity is discussed with the examples of performances and happenings of Srečo Dragan from the conceptualist period, when he collaborated with Nuša Dragan and the extended OHO group. The discussion touches upon the latest new media works by Srečo Dragan, where a multitude of interfaces mediates between the self-awareness (memory, declaration statements) and the body of the participant, and builds an archive of connections for a society established through technology. Dragan’s idea of socialization with art foregrounds a performative educational practice that interferes with the user's identity.

2. Diskretnost seznamov in informacijski obrat v humanistikiNarvika Bovcon, Aleš Vaupotič, 2024, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Besedilo obravnava informacijski obrat, ki današnjo realnost razume kot infosfero, agente v njej pa kot relacijsko povezane informacijske
organizme, človeške, naravne ter umetne ali hibridne. Pri razumevanju komunikacijskega delovanja sodobnih algoritmov izhaja iz ugotovitev Elene Esposito, ki razlikuje med informativnostjo sporazumevanja in inteligenco ter najde kontingentnost, ki je temelj za dojemanje inteligentnih odzivov v komunikaciji, ne v algoritmih, ampak v velepodatkih, kamor so jo odložili ljudje pri izdelavi in uporabi spleta. Podatke, organizirane v obliki diskretnih seznamov, ki jih pridobimo z odstranitvijo konteksta, algoritmi obdelujejo: reorganizirajo in asociativno povezujejo. Podobno kot v računalništvu obravnava sisteme tudi humanistika, na obeh področjih imamo opravka z diskretnimi podatki. Ta skupna lastnost podatkov v humanistiki in računalništvu omogoča prenos metod med disciplinama, npr. metodo ravni abstrakcije za obravnavanje sistema, zato v nadaljevanju predstavimo delovanje Turingovih strojev, njihovo števnost izračunljivih števil, povezano z mehanskostjo postopka. Implikacije Turingovih odkritij so pobuda za informacijsko filozofijo Luciana Floridija, ki informacijskemu obratu reče tudi četrta revolucija človeškega samorazumevanja in ga obravnava v tetralogiji, posvečeni infosferi. Predstavljena je Floridijeva konceptualna logika informacij, ki je logika načrtovanja modela sistema, ki zadosti zahtevam in skozi izdelovanje proizvaja vednost ab anteriori. Gre za inženirskooblikovalsko metodo, ki je v vedno bolj konstrukcionistično naravnanem svetu tudi metoda za podajanje odgovorov na odprta filozofska vprašanja. V sklepu besedila metodo izdelave informacijskega modela sistema predstavimo na primeru digitalnohumanističnega projekta, ki uporablja digitalizirano zbirko
umetniških del, interdisciplinarno sodelovanje in računalniške algoritme za generiranje novih informacijskih organizmov, tj. modelov, ki interpretirajo Rembrandtov umetniški sistem.

3. Osebni podatki v umetnosti : njihova zakonita obdelava in vloga etike v novomedijski kulturiAleš Vaupotič, Narvika Bovcon, 2024, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Besedilo obravnava vprašanja zakonite in etične obdelave osebnih podatkov v novomedijski kulturi in umetnosti ter dileme ob vključevanju takih kulturnih artefaktov v razstavne projekte in muzejske zbirke. Uvodoma predstavi Splošno uredbo o varstvu podatkov (2018), ki sta jo sprejela Evropski parlament in Svet Evropske unije, ter trenutne zakonodajne postopke Evropske unije za področje umetne inteligence. Problematiko varovanja osebnih podatkov osvetli skozi razmislek o etiki informacij, kot jo razvija Luciano Floridi, ter pojasni razmerje med trdo in mehko etiko, slednja se izkaže za posebej uporabno za razumevanje vloge novih informacijskih tehnologij v današnji družbi. Vlogo osebnih podatkov, obdelanih tudi z algoritmi umetne inteligence, in dileme, povezane z njimi, ilustrira na primerih novomedijskih umetniških del Vuka Ćosića in Sreča Dragana.

5. Sustainable digital preservation of new media artNarvika Bovcon, Eszter Polónyi, Jaka Železnikar, Aleš Vaupotič, 2023, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: This paper is about two pilot studies conducted in 2022 that aimed to develop a model for preserving and archiving new media art work in the context of a research project on the sustainable digital preservation of new media art that is being co-hosted by the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana. As the works of art selected for the study by Slovenian new media art pioneers Vuk Ćosić (2000) and Srečo Dragan (2005) were technically obsolete or non-functional by the time of the study, the question of how to bring the artworks back into existence and what components of each artwork to include in the collection and preservation process constituted one aspect of our research. But this process of reconstruction also raised questions about how the preservation of media art is reshaping the practice of archiving within an institution whose holdings were, until recently, largely in traditional mediums. An interdisciplinary approach addressed the problem from different points of view, involving the practitioners, experts from art-history, museology, computer science, media theory and intellectual property rights.

8. Augmented Reality as a Medium for Connecting Real and Literary SpacesAleš Vaupotič, Narvika Bovcon, 2022, unpublished conference contribution Abstract: At the border between Slovenia and Italy there are two cities, Gorizia and Nova Gorica, connected and functioning as one, or separated by conflict in different times in history. The literatures in Slovenian, Italian, German and Friulian languages have described the complex issues that have tailored the life of people of various nationalities in this region in the 20th century. In 2018 we have participated in the EDUKA 2 project that had the goal of gathering the literary works that address the problem of coexistence in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. Excerpts from these works were published in two text books for secondary schools, translated in all three languages. Our part in the project was building an augmented reality literary itinerary in the provinces of Trieste and Gorizia, that connected the literary works with related geolocations. The paper will present, how the existence of people of different nationalities at the same place is articulated in literature: selected examples of poetry and novels (Pahor, Madieri, Tomizza, Rilke, Pasolini, Gradnik, ...) will be discussed. The experiences described in literature were interpreted and translated into a visual form, virtual 3-D models were built and placed at selected geolocated spots. The translation between the literary and visual form will be discussed. The user experience of our literary itinerary will be compared to the existing literary itineraries in Gorizia and Trieste, there are many, and all contain historical data, images, videos and texts related to the complexities of coexistence. Finally the medium of augmented reality will be presented considering its different types that involve the user, the space, the camera of a mobile device and a projected image on the screen in different ways. This is relevant in the time, when spatial restrictions have surfaced in an unexpected way: due to the pandemic the spaces have been separated again and the virtual messages in augmented reality are considered either as intruders in a private space in the tele-communication, or as real presences in the real space that cannot be visited.

10. Digitalizacija kulturne dediščine v dveh projektih programa Študentski inovativni projekti za družbeno korist : digitalizacija, korespondence, elektronske zbirke, aleksandrinke, študentski projekt, digitalna humanistikaKatja Mihurko, Narvika Bovcon, Aneta Ivanovska, Tina Smrekar, 2020, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Članek predstavi dva projekta digitalizacije in spletne predstavitve kulturne dediščine aleksandrink in različnih skupin žensk, ki so
večinsko povezane s primorskim in notranjskim geografskim prostorom: v prvem primeru gre za bazo podatkov o aleksandrinkah, v
drugem pa za digitalizirano pisemsko dediščino. Program Študentskih inovativnih projektov za družbeno korist je odlična platforma za
pilotske projekte s področja digitalne humanistike, saj predvideva interdisciplinarno delovno skupino študentov in mentorjev ter v
korist lokalne skupnosti usmerjene praktične rezultate projekta.
