Earlier this year the organisers of the event put out a call for applications for the first NSK Citizen Congress. We received a high number of applications with some very interesting and perceptive responses. Unfortunately delegate numbers are restricted to thirty and a final selection has now been made. Successful applicants will be contacted shortly.

If you were not selected remember that there will be a programme of public events accompanying the congress (unfortunately we are not able to assist you with visas or accommodation in order to attend these events.) You can also take part in or follow the debates on the Congress microsite in advance of the event and remember that some elements of the event will be streamed live online and there will be regular online bulletins and videos while the congress runs. There will also be some satellite events taking part in other cities and details of these will be announced nearer the time.

You can view latest NSK news and begin to discuss the event here and on the congress microsite.

IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD FROM US BY THE END OF 2009 YOUR APPLICATION WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS RECEIVED WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE REASONS FOR INDIVIDUAL SELECTIONS.

The first NSK Passport Office was opened in Athens on 14 June 2009 on the occasion of the opening events of “Heaven”, the 2nd Biennale of Athens that tool place in  the cost of Faliro.

Informance – Exodos 15
7. & 8. 5. 2009, KSEVT, Vitanje

DUNJA ZUPANČIČ explores two complex systems in postgravitaty art: empty-body directing and the syntapiens system, and visualises their point of connection. She geometrises all conceptual information about the emptybody directing of Dragan Živadinov and about the syntapiens system by Miha Turšič with temporal layering and informing.

MIHA TURŠIČ is not a designer because he wants to build his own tangible landscape, to be a part of the magnificent capital-driven production of products. No! Categorically differently :: exploiting his profound digital talent, he designs ideas about the human being and the feeling of being human in weightless environments.

The series of events of the fifty years performance Noordung connects DRAGAN ŽIVADINOV with Dunja Zupančič’s system of anti-gravitational visualisation. A public, secular act, with a precisely defined form, is inevitably an operation of sense if it is informed by visual thinking. The dual of Dragan Živadinov and Dunja Zupančič becomes plural with Miha Turšič!
