Cyber-Yugo goal is to bring this message to as many people as possible via world
wide web, internet radio, and the museum/other spaces exhibition of the actual
Yugo vehicle, fitted with appropriate computer hardware/software. Cyber-Yugo
puts you in the driver's seat of the events that unfolded over the past decade
in the region formerly known as the SFRY. With parts for them having
been produced in all regions of the former country, Yugo cars are as symbolic of
the strength of the unified market among the republics of former Yugoslavia, as
they are, through the cesation of their production - due to break-up of economic
relations between republics, symbolic of the failure of the post-Titoist
political structures to preserve that market. Yugo cars are at the same time a
symbol of the ultimate success of the post-war communist Yugoslavia, and the
symbol of its ultimate failure. In that respect a Yugo car is the perfect
vehicle to be used to re-visit the memory of
what once used to be called the SFRY (Socialist Federative Republic of
Yugoslavia). The Cyber-Yugo project was talked about on The World, a co-production of BBC World
Service Public Radio International and WGBH Boston (mp3 file of the show).
