It produces, co-produces, presents and develops projects that take advantage of new technologies and protocols in order to investigate and discuss the structures of modern society.

Projects

Known on its vigorous production and co-production realised in Slovenia and abroad, pays the Aksioma Institute since last few years special attention on the series of project connected with the change of names. Within the project Mount Triglav on Mount Triglav the director of the Institute Aksioma Davide Grassi and his colleagues Emil Hrvatin and Žiga Kariž legally took in 2007 the first and the last name of then actual Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia Janez Janša with the grotesque aim to "confront with the tragic in the work of the biopower." Since then Janez Janša, Janez Janša, and Janez Janša developed project further and present it also as the performance Signature Event Context on the Transmediale 2008 in Berlin. In the same year the exhibition curated by Zdenka Badovinac entitled NAME - Readymade was featured in the frame of the Steirischer Herbst Festival of New Art in Graz. Since than the NAME - Readymade was presented also in ArtLaboratoryBerlin, Škuc Gallery, HONF laboratory Yogyakarta (Indonesia) or in LASALLE College of the Arts, Faculty of Media Arts in Singapore. Recently, in the April 2010 the project got its continuation in the Künstlerhaus Brut in Wien, where two Janez Janša (meanwhile one artist renamed himself back to his origin identity) as regisuers prepared theatre experiment If there will be more of us, the goal will be reached sooner [Več nas bo, prej bomo na cilju]. The documentary performance produced in the cooperation of the Aksioma Institute, Maska Institute and Künstlerhaus Brut includes beside statements of artists also statements of known Slovene theorists and politicians as Miro Cerar, Blaž Lukan, Ilinka Todorovski, Zmago Jelinčič Plemeniti, Veso Stojanov, Mladen Dolar, and Janez Janša. The project refers itself on the judicial, economical and intimae dimensions of the renaming with the aim to requisition the topics of identity, identification, multiplication of the name.
