Dušan Barok is best known for [[Monoskop:About|Monoskop]], a platform for avant-garde media studies he initiated back in 2004 as part of [[Burundi]] collective. Since 2009, he also operates its [[Monoskop Log|affiliated online library Monoskop Log]], created together with Tomáš Kovács. Its website is hosted by ''[[Sanchez]]'', an art server run by [[Multiplace]] network and providing free web hosting to emerging artists and cultural nonprofits. He convened a series of seminars on media aesthetics entitled ''[[The Extensions of Many]]'' (2015), prepared in collaboration with [[BEK|Bergen Center for Electronic Arts]] and hosted by Hordaland Kunstsenter in Bergen, Norway. The series was followed by the symposium ''[[Ideographies of Knowledge]]'' (2015) prepared with [[Barbora Šedivá]] in [[Paul Otlet]]'s archives in Mundaneum in Mons, Belgium. In 2018, he was commissioned by the Seoul Mediacity Biennale to make new work. Created with a large group of Monoskop collaborators, the ''[[Exhibition Library]]'' (2018) contains thirty catalogues of imaginary exhibitions and its premiere edition went on display in the Seoul Museum of Art as part of the biennale exhibition.
