EEII is not only a festival

Festival EEII has changed. From once-a-year festival (that usually lasted from 2 to 3 days) it turned in the evening part of the Multimedia camp. It lasted thrughout August 2006. and hosted artist from all around the world.

This year EEII changed again! It became a whole year project, with program happening from Aprill till late November.
EEII 2007 will host experimental elctronic interventionists from Austria, Switzerland, Brazil, Netherlands and Italy in different venues in Zagreb, Križevci, Rijeka, Labin, Belgrade, Mostar, Dubrovnik, etc.

This years program is financed by Ministry of Culture in Croatia.

ODRZ – performance ODRZ05: audio TV alteration process (60′ long), (Italy) at EEII:
“The television, today, is the most immediated media. Audio TV reality undergoes an alteration process by ODRZ. ODRZ05 drives the TV audience away. The live performance consists in undergoing alterations the sound broadcasted in real time by the television networks, showing images at the same time.” More…

Another Austrian band/project: ONEBOMB>ONETARGET, will be blasting their way through EEII:
” noise is the only phenomenon that will never be commercialized!!”
” noise is purest anarchy!! This is prime reason why society hates noise”
“destroy some structure in your life, produce and consume noise 24hrs daily!!”
“DON´T SUBMIT TO STRUCTURE!!” *Noise is the only phenomenon that will NEVER be commercialized!!* All this is RS’s motivation about noise (in its broadest sense – not only music): it is the ONLY phenomenon with NO provable structure in it. Only if there is no imposed structure from the medium, there’ll be ultimate freedom to both consumer and artist. Nobody is affected in their own personal structure as there is none ! From it’s definition, noise is purest anarchy. This is the prime reason why society hates and prosecutes noise… Noise is terror. Destroy some structure in your life, produce & consume noise 24hrs daily. Anywhere you are. Become a noise terrorist.

CHANGE OF THE NAME “DKMEDIA” TO “KAISER GRUTVA

“…its not really cuz of dkmedia is a popular name or that im afraid of bullshit.
the name dkmedia comes from dangerous kitchen, witch was a one time project with a friend of mine. it was a impro-rock project. after that we did this video/sound manipulation gig under the name dkmedia. but thats 2 years ago and never did it again. today im busy on my projects and already had the name “KAISER GRUTVA” for awhile. last few weeks I decided to do everything under the name kaiser grutva.
KG will perform: 10-15 min videocollage with recent footage from tv and movies. this is being projected on screen. the sound from the video goes to my little mixingdesk where I have a few simple effects like distortions and delays. I will manipulate the videosound to some noise-soundscape which anticipates with the happenings on screen.

15/05/2004
We decided to separate movie festival from festival EEII. There is too much material allready. So we decided >> Uke2 ff is film festival dedicated to movies concerning connections between moving picture and sound. It will take place in Croatia, Križevci in the middle of October 2004.

Beside received movies, we will be showing selected works from low/no budget festivals from the world.
Download application form and send us your movies!!

The idea has crystallized: festival UKE2 – EEII (Urban Culture and Education 2 – Electronically Experimental Interventions in Interior.) will be a festival of experimental movies from the world and Croatia concerned with connection of sound and (preferably abstract) picture. The application form will soon be out.
Together with the visual part goes sound part: experimental sounds of electrical and electronicall performers.

January 2004
The idea has changed a little. Festival will not be the moving one, as we wanted. Too messy, too much explaining to do to the police, etc. We are looking for a big place to make our festival in, a hangar of some sort.

We started a donators hunt.
