Egon March Institute (EMI) was established in 1986 as the first Slovene creative unit for reflection, research and production in interdisciplinary arts. It brings together independent authors to research in the fields of art and present the results to the public. The institute was founded by Slovene pioneer of media art Marko Košnik to satisfy the need for international connections between intellectuals. Egon March Institute is famous for its unique organizing principle and finds cooperation between artists fundamental.

The interactive TV programme was marked with all pre-internet technological solutions. Egon March Institute also actively collaborated with Video Production Kregar Studio (VPK Studio).

The symposium was simultaneously upgraded with a sound system and a video projection of the happening in Cyberpipe in the Cafe Metropol (at Kersnikova) which enabled parallel dialogues, monitoring and comments. The platform for live processing of text and graphic material was managed by Boštjan Čadež, Maja Smrekar and Luka Prinčič.
