Exhibition of high-tech art "Digital Looking Glass" Automatic translate

December 10-30, 2015, Moscow. In the gallery "Tunnel" MGHPA them. S.G. Stroganov, with financial support from the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, will host an exhibition of high-tech art “Digital Looking Glass”, organized by the Creative Union of Artists of Russia, the Russian Academy of Arts and the MARS Center. The project will collect the works of iconic Russian artists working at the intersection of art and technology, including Konstantin Khudyakov, Yan Kalnberzin and Evgeny Afonin, Anton Batishev, Recycle Group, AEC + F, Ivan Kabalin, Mikhail Zaikin, Dmitry and Elena Kavarga, Alexey Gintovt, Group VITAMIN and others.

Despite an impressive breakthrough in digital image technology over the past decades, few contemporary artists are interested in using this rich creative arsenal. The participants of the exhibition “Digital Looking Glass” are the undisputed leaders in the field of high-tech art. With each project, they reveal previously unexplored possibilities for creating an artistic image of the era of network intelligence.

Professor MGHPA them. S. G. Stroganova Konstantin Khudyakov will present at the exhibition stereo-light panels and the intellectual installation “Eye of Angel-3”. Unparalleled stereo-light panels are the hallmark of the artist. The capabilities of three-dimensional modeling allow you to create a digital image in real volume, which allows the viewer to literally plunge into the picture, enter its space. Focusing on various fragments of the stereo light panel, the viewer gains a unique opportunity to literally plunge into the picture and enter its space.

Eye of Angel-3 is an interactive audio-visual installation created in collaboration with Jan Kalnberzin and Evgeny Afonin, residents of the MARS Center and curators of the Curiosity Media Lab media art laboratory. This is a digital "all-seeing eye" that closely monitors the viewer, coming into direct contact with him, reacting to every step.

The interactive object “Residual thought stream 5” of Dmitry and Elena Kavarga sets as its main task the materialization of human subconscious processes. Entering into biological feedback with the object of art, the contactee has a unique opportunity to establish a direct dialogue with his own psychophysiological mechanism. In real time, the device selects one of the many audio tracks and, thus, the art object responds to the brain activity of the viewer.

Another exhibitor is Recycle Group, an art group created by Krasnodar artists Andrei Blokhin and Georgy Kuznetsov. Recycle Group - participants of the Venice Biennale 2013, 2015, whose works are presented in the best galleries in Paris, London, New York. In the work “Cultural layer” of artists, the question arises: what will remain of history from our era? It differs from other eras in that it lives not only in real time, but also in virtual space. There is an old stereotypical opposition of material and spiritual substances, but the realities of today’s life show that there is also a third dimension. It is neither material nor spiritual - and at the same time, it promises man eternal life, appropriating the functions of religion.

Anton Batishev, a young digital artist from Saratov, by his work proves that in media art there is no center and periphery, unlike traditional types of fine art. His works are plastically perfect, relevant in content and they clearly feel the rhythm and constant technological discoveries with which world artists live and work.

“Digital Looking Glass” is a project representing a section of the modern situation in the field of fine art, where complex technological solutions play an increasingly important role, allowing to realize the most unusual and complex artistic tasks.
