Hello empire!

Here is Aneta Stojnic, artist, theoretician, researcher and curator (not necessarily in that order!). My main interests are in theory and practice of performing arts, politics of new media technologies, contemporary art practices that affirm critical thinking and various intersections of art, philosophy and cultural studies especially when they include the decolonial perspective. 

Originally from Belgrade (Yugoslavia), but have been traveling all the time, living and working in different the places, most recently in Vienna as a postdoc researcher at Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Conceptual Art study program, and previously in Belgium where I was a postdoctoral research-fellow at Ghent University, Research centre S:PAM (Studies in Performing Arts & Media). 
Since a few weeks ago I am back to Belgrade where I am engaged as assistant professor at the Faculty of Media and Communications, teaching at the Department of Transdicsiplinary Humanities and Art Theory. 
I was Artist in residence in Tanzquartier Vienna in 2011 and writer in residence at KulturKontakt Austria in 2012, and have collaborated with institutions and organizations such as: Tanzquartier Wien, Open Systems (Vienna), Les Laboratoires d’Aubervillier (Paris), WUK / Kunsthalle Exnergasse (Vienna) , Quartier21 (MQ Vienna), Dansens Hus Stockholm, Odin Teatret (Denmark), BITEF (Belgrade), TkH Walking Theory, Pančevo Biennal and many others.
I've authored a number of international publications on contemporary art and media. 
(I should update my webpage with the “publications” section sometime soon but if someone happens to be interested here are a couple of links to some of my recent(ish) writings:

Also, my first single-authored book was published last year in Belgrade based on my PhD thesis “Theory of Performance in Digital Art: Towards a New Political Performance”  (for now only in Serbian though). 

I was introduced to Empire by Johannes Birringer during the amazing discussion he and Alan Sondheim moderated in November 2014.  Since then I have been mostly a lurker, though I’ll try to engage in the upcoming discussions at this great space more actively in the future!

I have a multidimensional approach to research which brings together sound art, cultural and philosophical studies of the body, and human-computer interaction.

Configuration defines the relationship of the human being and technology as one where they affect each other’s properties through a continuous, situated negotiation. In musical performance, this involves a performer’s intuition, cognition, and sensorimotor skills, an instrument’s material, musical and computational properties, and sound’s vibrational and auditive qualities.

In OMINOUS <http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/ominous> and MUSIC FOR FLESH II <http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/music-for-flesh-ii> I play interactive music by amplifying sounds from my body. The installation NIGREDO <http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/nigredo> induces visitors in altered states of self-perception by feeding sounds from their bodies back to their skulls and bones. The sculptural object SEPTIC <http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/septic> physicalises digital viruses in the body.
