This is the last exhibition in this year's cycle dedicated to the 
influence of globalization on society. Each artist or artist group in 
this exhibition commented on the recent changes which have primarily 
occurred as a consequence of the global and liberal capitalist market 
and the ways in which it operates.

In their short animated film the Italian video-artist duo, known as 
Lemeh42, make an ironic view of the business philosophy of Ikea and 
their global omnipresence, as well as of their practicality and 
economical approach to interior design.

Dima Strakovsky, on the other hand, in his performance at the opening of 
the exhibition makes a parody of the most powerful Asian corporations by 
combining the stereotype of Asian spirituality with the stereotype of 
Asian economic efficiency.

A Croatian duo Rosana Ratkovcic and Fedor Kritovac will show the results 
of their study of Zagreb's and Croatian crafts tradition, which has, due 
to economic changes, undergone some considerable changes in the last 
twenty years.

Carlos Katastrofsky (aka Michael Kargl), a member of Vienna group 
Cont3xt, is, on the other hand, focuses on the critique of corporation 
economy present on the Internet. By means of intervening into the source 
code of a certain Web site, he puts an emphasis on commercialization and 
monopolization of the Internet.
