On Media Reality
Their aim was to contribute to discussion about media manipulation, hence the entire action was called “The Media Reality”. However in the end, it touched upon many other topics. Regardless of the action’s point, the artists were labeled dangerous hackers and digital pirates. The debate about media (in)dependence swiftly turned into a hoax accusation. Whole hell broke loose as they accidentally tapped system’s weak points, many more than they had originally expected. These days seven members of up to the point anonymous group are dragged from court to court. Fined by the council for public TV and radio broadcast on one side, awarded by National Gallery’s prize NG 333 on the other, Ztohoven members gave birth to an action which, over the period of one year, has grown into unforeseen dimensions.

Lunchmeat Festival - Audiovisual Extravaganza
A documentary mapping the current progressive audiovisual culture through the Lunchmeat Festival held in Prague on March 9 -13, 2010. The festival presented forms overlapping the definition of "visualist-VJ" and "DJ", the VJ no longer being just a "video player" but an experimenting artist with an eclectic approach to new technologies and art. The music and visual performances are supplemented by interviews with guests and prominent experts who present issues ranging from the history of VJing to the most recent trends in the field.

UFF
UFF is an interactive audiovisual installation which documents the action of 18 artistic interventions in the public places in Prague on 19.5. 2009. The installation enables to watch a video documentation of the performance via interface which runs particular actions on the map of the city. UFF is designed to be a simulation of a dialog between the city and its inhabitans. Are we passive or active inhabitans? Do we have a chance to regulate the rules of the "game" within the system? UFF is a kind of engaged geocaching with elements of street-art. A game as an active form of cognition, space perception, creative approach in solving problems and answering questions.
