We live in one studio/computer/living room of two-rooms
communal appartment on the ground floor of five-storey
house located between three old cemeteries.
Twenty square metrs of our room divided
for three horizontal levels: on the floor placed one
computer to write critical articles on contemporary
aesthetics and psychoanalysis, to produce our journal
Kabinet which describes processes
in contemporary art in relation to science, technology,
mythology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, ideology,
philosophy, social life; two big ampliphiers, four oriental
pillows, carpet, books, records, videocassetes. The second
level sructured by the shelf for video/tv/cd/tape-recorder
and divan.The third level organized by table to jump into
Net and record-player. Two windows and two walls are
completly covered by books, cd, tapes and works of art.
