burundi

Established in 2003 and operating at A4 - zero space, Bratislava until 2005, burundi was a media lab working between the arts, science and technologies; burundi datalab incorporated a mediatheque, burundi studio brought together technically-oriented artists in collaborative projects, burundi displej represented a convergence of the new media gallery, cinema and presentation space, and burundi press released the Anthology of New Media Literature in Slovak in 2006. burundi hosted regular media art screenings, video art exhibitions and workshops for audio+visual processing+streaming, street events and other presentations, plus the Translab collaborative research project which mapped the possibilities emerging from the technological culture (hardware, software). It also participated at curating the Multiplace 3 & 4 and Enter Multimediale 2 festivals.

In June 2005 burundi was dissolved, although its various members have continued with the activities they began in burundi, either individually or in other groups such as 13m3, Bratislava, Itchy bit and Citylab.
