This year, the winners include two winners nominated by the Center for Creativity:
- Sara Badovinac and Sara Škarica (Sara&Sara), who conducted extensive research on various methods of art display, from traditional gallery showcases to dynamic street fairs. Their research delved into nuanced ways of engaging with artworks, whether presented individually or as part of a collection. They carefully studied examples in various platforms, including galleries, street fairs, retail spaces and more. You can read more about the project at the link.
- Anže Sekelj and Staš Vrenko (Hex Haus), who designed the HEX Cor digital polyphonic synthesizer with a capacitive keyboard, potentiometers for signal modulation and an adjustable loop. Also available as a DIY kit, the instrument design is optimized for use in a variety of contexts focusing on educational and performative aspects. The components that make up the instrument are 100% interchangeable, which favors the right to repair, ease of assembly and sustainable long-term use. With this approach, we try to bring electronic music to a wider audience.
