Letoลกnjo mednarodno Poletno ลกolo, ki jo skupaj organiziramo Moderna galerija (Ljubljana), Muzej afriลกke umetnosti (Beograd) in Muzej sodobne umetnosti ฤrne gore (Podgorica), bo odprlo javno predavanje palestinske kustosinje in pisateljice ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ง๐ข.
V predavanju z naslovom ๐บ๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ Anani preuฤuje, kako ni veฤ meja med oroลพarsko in zabavno industrijo. Pri tem se opira na serijo filmov Haruna Farockija ๐ธ๐ฆ๐/๐๐๐โ๐๐๐ (๐๐๐/๐ ๐ก๐๐๐) in na delo Mahmouda Al Haja ๐ถ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ฆ (๐ด๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐) ter na njune srhljive odmeve v genocidu v Gazi.
Farocki prikazuje, kako razne vojske od zalivske vojne (1991) za usposabljanje vojakov uporabljajo estetiko videoiger in virtualne resniฤnosti, tako da je nasilje abstrahirano v ฤiste, oddaljene simulacije. Al Haj je v delih napovedal, kako bo ta abstrakcija postala grozljiva resniฤnost; danes so ฤloveลกka ลพivljenja v Gazi zreducirana na podatkovne toฤke, toplotne slike in zemljevide nadzornih kamer.
Predavanje predstavi tezo, da oroลพarska industrija vse bolj ฤrpa iz spekulativne domiลกljije videoiger in znanstvenofantastiฤnih produkcij, ne le za vojaลกka orodja, ampak za celotne vizije vojskovanja. Tehnologije, ki so bile nekoฤ omejene na zaslone in fikcijo, zdaj oblikujejo resniฤne ubijalske stroje, kot so govoreฤi droni in igrificirani sistemi za ciljanje.
Predavanje v prepletu umetnostne kritike, popularnih distopij in resniฤnega ลพivljenja v Gazi zastavlja vpraลกanja: Kakลกno prihodnost ustvarjamo z zamiลกljanjem? Je postala znanstvena fantastika naฤrt za razvoj ubijalskih strojev? In kako bi lahko ponovno uvedli etiฤno odgovornost v dobi mehaniziranih zloฤinov proti ฤloveลกtvu, posredovanih na zaslonih?
Predavanju bo ๐จ๐ ๐๐:๐๐ sledil filmski program z naslovom ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐, ki je del serije filmski projekcij ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฬ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐

This year's international Summer School, jointly organized by Moderna galerija (Ljubljana), the Museum of African Art (Belgrade), and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro (Podgorica), will be opened by a public lecture by the Palestinian curator and author ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ง๐ข.
This talk examines the collapse of boundaries between the arms and entertainment industries, drawing on Harun Farockiโs ๐ธ๐ฆ๐/๐๐๐โ๐๐๐ film series, and Mahmoud Al Hajโs ๐ถ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ฆ body of work, and their disturbing echoes in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Farocki traced how, since the Gulf War (1991), militaries have adopted the aesthetics of video games and virtual reality to train soldiers, abstracting violence into clean, distant simulations. Al Hajโs works predicted how this abstraction has become a horrifying reality today, as human lives in Gaza are reduced to data points, thermal images, and surveillances maps.
The lecture argues that the arms industry increasingly draws from the speculative imagination of video games, but also sci-fi media productions, borrowing not just military tools but entire visions of warfare. Technologies, once confined to screens and fiction, now shape real-world killing machines such as talking drones and gamified targeting systems.
By weaving together artistic critique, popular dystopias, and lived realities in Gaza, this talk asks: What kind of future are we imagining into being? Has science fiction become a blueprint to serve developing these killing machines? And how might we reclaim ethical accountability in an age of mechanized, screen-mediated crimes against humanity?
๐๐ญ ๐๐:๐๐ the lecture will be followed by a film programme titled ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ : ๐
