Neven Korda holds M.A. in sociology; he is a director, video and multimedia artist with a diverse artistic practices in the field of performative arts and the art of projection. He has been occupied with questions of video as an artistic expression and as a medium. He talks about a so called pure video. Korda started using video in the beginning of the 1980's, when an accessible video equipment flooded the market. He is a cofounder and leader of a theatre group FV 112/15 and a cofounder and leader of FV Video, an independent video production, which produced a number of art, music and documentary video projects. Between 1982 and 1988 he was a president of Music Section at ŠKD Forum and a leader of its clubs and concert programmes. Between 1983 and 1989 he was a member of Borghesia group, where he directed their performances and music videos and was responsible for visuals at their performances and concerts. In the 1990's he worked as an editor, a postproduction leader and as a director for propaganda films, commercials and TV shows at numerous TV stations and video studios. In this era he created short films, TV shows and documentaries in a tandem with Zemira Alajbegović. At the turn of a century he moved to exploring, practicing and noting pure video art. He continued from where he left off in the second half of the 1980's. He quit profession and returned to his calling, author creation of theatre performances and audio-visual forms. A manifesto of this step was a conceptual series New New Films - an integral representation of the author's image. In addition he kept making music videos - representations of songs. From the middle of the first decade of a new century he broadened a field of his pure video with visualisations for club nights mainly concerts (VJ Barbato Kanak), with video objects, intermedia installations and performative lectures. He constantly uses his old video elements and his own art archive in new contexts in order to stress the meaning of memory and experiencing a video as a live event clash. Between 2006 and 2012 he designed and led a group manifestation Parallel Worlds, which worked in an intersection of club and gallery visual electronics. He treated video as a medium through his work on video archive of his own video practice - in a CD-ROM, space installations, web page and multimedia lectures and as a mentor and conductor of applicable video and video archive workshops.
