co+labo radović   co+labo in the times of Coronavirus + false impressions of the slowdown  
Looking at these two images (above and below), one could conclude that, since our previous entry, nothing has changed. These photos depict exactly what was on the other two, which were posted exactly two weeks ago (further down). Both then and now, Darko and Davisi were captured on WebCam, standing at an empty Riva in Split, and sending their regards to co+labo, as co+labo design competition team works online, on their current competition project. While on these photos all looks the same, in reality everything that we used to take for granted in our everyday lives has been altered. That, most dramatically, applies to some of the key issues related to our central research focus, the themes associated with public and public-like places across cultures. This uncanny condition, in which seemingly "nothing happens" while everything around us changes rapidly, will be one of the key co+labo and co+re themes in 2020-21, and beyond.
That fine-tuning of our research focus will start in coordination with City Space Architecture (CSA), organisation based in Bologna, which  brings together an international circle of academics, practitioners, activists and others interested in public space, and publishes high quality Journal of Public SpaceIn responses to these unusual times, the CSA core team members have (in collaboration with Chinese University of Hong Kong) initiated new project entitled "2020: A Year without Public Space under the COVID-19 Pandemic“. As from this year Darko co-Chairs the CSA Advisory Board of Public Space Experts, he will coordinate co+labo efforts with that important initiative. We will start by helping to identify the key questions arising from this moment which, among other consequences, enforces an unusual level of global uniformity.
As the crises of this magnitude have the capacity to initiate paradigm shift, Darko and co+labo radović will insist on radical, critical and creative perspectives, and strategies of response. We need to be aware that the Coronavirus has not accelerated processes of globalisation (turning us all to Zoom, Webex and similar tools which, as safe and as sterile they are, question all that public sphere, realm, space are and should be about, everything that we take for granted when exercising our right to the city). Not only that this virus has not accelerated globalisation, but the truth is precisely opposite: the globalisation itself made this pandemic possible. Having "chosen" a particular, environmentally and culturally unsustainable kind of development, as part of an overall spectacularization of our daily lives, we have also globalised the virus. An epidemic became - a pandemic. 
Always positive, co+labo opening hypothesis is that, in a fashion similar to the emergence of this pandemic, some minor, local, infraordinary practices orientated towards creating a better world might gain power and spread globally. (Of course, that is an utopian thought. Minor practices seem to have a slim chance, they only might succeed. But - it is worth trying.) 
That is a co+labo way.

  4. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com

  6. GET OUT OF FINANCIAL MESS WITH THE HELP OF drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com

    I have been in financial mess for the past months, I’m a single mum with kids to look after. My name is REBECCA MICHAELSON, and am from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about DR BENJAMIN OWEN FINANCE of (drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com); that he can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. She advised, I gave it a try because she and some of her colleagues were rescued too by this Godsent lender with loans to revive their dying businesses and paying off bills. so I mailed him and explain all about my financial situation and therefore took me through the loan process which was very brief and easy.. After that my loan application worth $78,000.00USD was granted, all i did was to follow the processing and be cooperative and today I am a proud business owner sharing the testimony of God-sent Lender. You can as well reach him through the Company WhatsApp +19292227023 Email drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
