| JANEZ JANŠA (SLO) „Miss Mobile“ An interactive performance where the author attracts attention to manipulative effects of entertaining shows that get beyond forms of new global totalitarianism. Jansa reveals how competitions like Big Brother vulgarize the term of democracy by offering 15 minutes of fame to everyone. How similar projects threaten human dignity and freedom. Miss Mobile combines means of a talk show, TV quizzes, media and visual installations. A virtual community becomes the protagonist in this performance. This community will be generated by a performer in the cooperation with viewers in the hall by common media and communication means.
