                                by  Darko Fritz

Zagreb Confidential – Imaginary Futures explores visions of the future depicted through urban development. The film, in its essence, can be regarded as a form of a time structure and as such it questions not only the vision of future on a realistic example of New Zagreb but it also questions the structure of film as such.

Laboratory and exhibition 

An interactive, walk-in landscape staged by Thomas J. Jelinek and curated in collaboration with Jennifer Helia DeFelice.
The works focus on contemporary trends in climatological, biological, media and media technology, as well as political terms, and use these to create interactive installations, objects and readable processes that can be followed throughout the exhibition.

In science, a field is a physical quantity, represented by a scalar, vector, or tensor, that has a value for each point in space and time. An example of a scalar field is a weather map, with the surface temperature described by assigning a number to each point on the map. A surface wind map, assigning an arrow to each point on a map that describes the wind speed and direction at that point, is an example of a vector field, i.e. a 1-dimensional tensor field.

Field theories, mathematical descriptions of how field values change in space and time, are ubiquitous in physics.

The streaming field is a term used in field theory and is used in electrodynamics and fluid mechanics, among other fields. The streaming field specifies a velocity for each point in space and at each point in time at which physical quantities, such as material properties, force effects and interactions, are transported within a spatial area.

Streaming patterns occur in various natural and artificial environments in which liquids or gases are in motion. They arise wherever matter of different densities and velocities interact with each other. In flowing waters, streaming patterns are created by the interaction of the water with the riverbed and obstacles such as stones or tree trunks. Ocean currents form large-scale flow patterns that are influenced by wind, the Earth’s rotation, and differences in temperature and salinity. In the air, flow patterns are created by winds that are influenced by pressure differences, temperature variations and the Earth’s rotation.

Flow patterns can also be observed in biological systems, such as the blood circulation of living beings, which are created by the movement of fluids in vessels.

These basic patterns can be used to negotiate the viral topics and problematic developments of our present day and illustrate them in a debatable way.The focus here is on illustrating the processes involved in the production of translations, readable forms, ‘works of art’ or the filtering of information and translation into language, mathematical formulas, as in research projects, as well as the processes of the analysed things and events themselves.
