Multimedia Institute
The Multimedia Institute [mi2] is a Zagreb-based NGO that sprang up in 1999. Entering the up to that moment locally still uncharted territory between social and cultural action and new technological developments, [mi2] brought together an emerging generation of civil activists, media practitioners, independent cultural actors and social and media theorists.
They set out to pursue three principle tasks: - 1) to promote, advocate, develop and educate media and technology practices relevant for functioning and development of social and cultural sector, - 2) to promote and develop socially inflected practices and discourses in new media technologies, particularly as the increasing penetration of capital and privatization gains upper hand over the public sphere and social resources, and introduces the domination of commercial standards, - 3) to strengthen the independent cultural sector and to advocate progressive cultural policies in order to support emerging tendencies of socio-cultural reformism in the independent cultural sector.
