"Saso Vrabic’s
Arcobaleno is a computer generated video, which
reflects with slightly ironic undertones on
the hidden tensions within the countries that,
while focusing on their national identity,
simultaneously have a strong longing to belong
to the bigger entity of “Europe.” The video
was made with the use of a Sinclair ZX Spectrum
computer. The loading process itself takes
central stage while the sign "Slovenia
is loading, please wait" is displayed.
There is a certain military nature to the esthetic
of the piece owing to the rhythm and the sounds,
not to even mention the flashing text. By using
an old computer program he interestingly juxtaposes
this military character with the nostalgic
feeling, transforming the video into a monument
of ancient technology that is lost for good."
