During recent years the term re-enactment and the practices it refers to have enjoyed increasing success in the artistic context. On one hand, the success of re-enactment appears to be connected to a parallel, vigorous return to performance art, both as a genre practiced by the new generations, and as an artistic practice with its own historicization. On the other hand the term re-enactment accompanies two phenomena that at least at first glance have very little in common: re-staging artistic performances of the past, and revisiting, in performance form, “real” events – be they linked to history or current affairs, past or present.

ABOUT THE PLATFORM
RE:akt! - meaning not only “to act again” but “to respond to/react upon” and “Regarding: act!”- confronts current ideological and intellectual canons, power structures, policies, and distribution channels by re-enacting selected historical events. Through processes of analysis, deconstruction, re-enactment and (re-)reporting, the intermedia research and presentation project RE:akt! examines media’s role(s) in manipulating perceptions and creating (post)modern historical myths and contemporary mythology.
The english word used to describe these actions (re-enactment) has to be linked with the english neologism enaction coined by the biologist and theorist Francisco Varela, which stresses the active engagement of an organism with the environment as the cornerstone of the organism's development, an the constitution of perception through guided actions rather through passive recording of events.
