BALKAN MEDITATIONS
"Balkan Mediations takes the ironies of today’s intimate links between media and military technologies as its point of creative intervention, examining the incongruities and brutalities of a context in which we now use the same tools to play, create media, and kill".
"In the west, the Balkans tend to be imagined and perceived through the lens of “balkanism”, something that is little understood and which continues to strongly affect how the region is filtered through the media today."
“We should remember that the ‘monstorous’ is only a way of describing what lies beyond our own intellectual boundaries,
in the same way that medieval cartographers imagined monsters to inhabit the lands beyond the known world.”
- John Tomlinson, Cultural Imperialism
