This collaborative project gave birth to the Mikser philosophy. After being engaged in numerous socially aware projects in the field of urban design, journalism, documentary film, art., the four authors from diverse continents and from newly independent states joined their studios for a series of collaborative projects that explored urban phenomena that had been neglected by mainstream media and organizations. Their diverse professional and academic backgrounds offered a variety of insights and modes of expression.
The Video installation "Parallel Urbanity" reflected the urban condition defined by systems of parasitic environments which are the result of the dialectics between parallel systems of survival and the underlying infrastructure of Belgrade. This relationship is both symbiotic and antagonistic.
Mikser is a non-profit network of art and design professionals and enthusiasts who have come together to produce trans-cultural projects. Mikser was concerived as an interactive network, bringing together exceptional individuals from many fields. We mix cultural products. Our projects connect avant-garde phenomena and concepts of local and global (pop) cultures. We develop cultural tolerance in Serbia by mixing local culture with foreign cultural inputs. The result of our collaborations are creations that establish dialog between contemporary global cultural tendencies and local cultural scenes, especially in the fields of art, design, architecture, communication and media.
