14th – 20th March 2008 @ gallery DECUMANUS, Krk
In February 2008, a series of exhibitions entitled D6 began at the Decumanus Gallery, where: Igor Gržetić, Vedrana Valenčić, Luisa Ritoša, Vedrana Stipić, Marin Dlaka and Lena Franolić, young artists from Krk and Rijeka presented themselves during a month-long program.
D6 is an art project that gathers six young artists that are active on the trajectory Krk-Rijeka-Krk. What is interesting is that they will not showcase their works in a group exhibition but in a series of solo exhibitions. Within the frames of the exhibition concept the focal point is set on the play with the new and a contemporary approach to traditional media (computer graphics, video, film, site-specific, photography, performance and an interactive application) trough which each of the participants will exhibit his or her own story simultaneously dependent and independent of the story that precedes and/or follows it.

Within the D6 project, Lena Franolić introduced herself to the public with an atmospheric and interactive exhibition p_32 … play in a loop that never ends. She envisaged the exhibition together with Marin Dlaka who presented himself with his photographs and audio & video works, while she attended to sculpture, graphics and programing of the interactive application.*
They showcased the same application on the new media festival Creative Clusters organized by Željko Blaće in the ULUPUH Gallery in Zagreb during April 2008.

* ^ This application was writen in Processing. Processing is an open-source textual program language developed by Robert Fry and Casey Reas at MIT Media Lab – ACG (Massachussets Institute of Technology Media Laboratory – Aesthetics and Computation Group). It was created for learning the basics of computer programing inside the visual context.
