We can bring an added value to the cultural sphere in the municipality Trbovlje, Zasavje region and Slovenia. Additionally Delavski dom Trbolvje wants also to expand its activities and operations abroad and thus contribute to the promotion of the regional and national cultural activities. We can provide the national network with additional aspects as Delavski dom Trbovlje has already elaborated its network of artist and other individuals active in the field of culture. Recently, DDT has become recognized as a centre for new media culture, not only at a regional level, but also globally; all thanks to the »Trbovlje new media setting« (Trbovlje Novomedijsko mesto) project, in the domain of DDT, covering the field of new media art creativity. It is through this project, organized and (co)-produced by DDT and thus linked with Slovene and foreign institutions operational in the field of new media art, such as University of Arts and design Linz, in Austria, or the Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Science IAMAS in Japan. Publicly most recognized event from this field is an annual festival of new media art - Speculum Artium, held in Trbovlje since 2009, having hosted distinctive, highly reputable guests from the field of high tech like Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, or Honda Robotics, as well as artists using state-of-the-art technology in their artworks, like Stelarc. A festival of art video – Digitalbigscreen – is also worth mentioning. It presents selected video artworks from all over the world on the big cinematic screen of the movie theatre. Then there is Nova galerija Delavskega doma (New Gallery of Delavski dom), an art gallery where current projects of new media culture content are presented to the public.
We want to join the ALF network as we believe that being a part of the mentioned network provides an added value to the evolution of current activities of Cultural institution Delavski dom Trbovlje. Additionally Delavski dom Trbolvje can provide some additional aspects to the already establish network. We see the network as an excellent opportunity to evolve the activities of the institution, promote the cultural sphere and with this artist and individual’s active in the field of culture and consequently promote culture nationally and internationally. The network can contribute to the new media culture evolvement and integration of it into the environment and daily lives of people. In general we see the already established network as a tool for a beater integration of Cultural institution Delavski dom Trbovlje into the international cultural sphere and also a tool for the implementation and realization of some projects and ideas that till now weren’t implemented.
