Punch me Beograd

PUNCH ME BEOGRAD - 2013 "PUNCH ME BEOGRAD" INTERNATIONAL TRIENNIAL OF EXTENDED MEDIA 2013 A CERTAIN DEGREE OF FICTION. 'Schematic' is the key-word for the new pieces Dragot proposes in his participation of the most recent edition of International Triennial of Extended Media 2013. Beograd. By 'schematic' ,one has to understand the essential outcome of an information, the reduction to the purest single element , the 'graphical' outlines of an image or the retransformation of the specific into a prototype form of decrypting in order to be more easily read by a larger group of people. More easily read and looked at or the way comics or cartoons function. Not only does Dragot turns his attention to a larger group of people by using the technique of cartoon but in this specific case to the most fragile part of it:the children. Dragot ,once again, deals with the daily information which reaches us in succeeding "waves" of images, good and bad news(preferably bad because it does better feed our voracious appetite for sensation and thriller-like kicks , camouflaged banalities or one-hour scandals which often tend to disappear before they really destroy reputations . Media are the most powerful predators on our small planet and media travel at the speed of media.It has its own logic.The other thing with media is that it exists as data or pure information and that it doesn't make any distinction between 'good 'or 'bad' ingredients. Only the reader does put the ethical full stop here. And the reader has to be protected or needs a certain kind of immunity in order to surf beyond risk.Because surfing is risky business and that is probably part of the message the artist wants us to understand.
