The work by Era Milivojevic is the analysis of the match (six games) which Gari Kasparov had played with the IBM computer Deep Blue, and won. For Milivojevic, this is an event equal to man's landing on the Moon. In the analyses of the games, Milivojevic makes linear moves on surfaces that correspond to the chess field, creating a graphic image of the entire game as a cross-section of all moves played. Milivojevic refers to abstract structures obtained in this way as SUPERMATIZAM (Super Check-Matism).

Era Milivojevic graduated from the School of Industrial Design in Novi Sad, and the Faculty of Visual Arts in Belgrade, in 1971. He was a member of the conceptual core of the 1970s.

He has lived and worked in England, Italy, France, Hungary, Spain and Portugal. He has exhibited since 1971 in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, Pristina, Cacak, Sombor, Helsinki, Rijeka, Zagreb, Osijek, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Skopje. Milivojevic's work includes video-installations, photography, performances.
