Exhibition by Sergei Belov "In Touch" Automatic translate

On September 18 at 14.00 in the Kaluga Museum of Fine Arts (Lenin st., 103, second floor) the opening of the exhibition by Sergei Belov "In Touch" will take place.

The “On the Line” project is a kind of time machine game. Viewers are like archaeologists of the distant future, according to the paintings seen at the exhibition depicting scenes of urban life, according to the technical devices with which people communicated, they will be able to get an idea of ​​the strange life of the inhabitants of the Megalopolis of the early 21st century.

People of the XXI century, like residents of other eras, always strive for convenience and improvement. From the modern materials they have created, they weave the nests of cities, carefully threading wires and pipes, rails and antennas into the voids. The inhabitants of the capitals are building a new nature, new landscapes, changing the lines of the horizon and dividing the sky into fragments framed by plastic, metal and glass. And people themselves are becoming different. Now they have super-speed radio signals, instantly finding themselves as voice and face on a laptop or iPhone screen on the opposite side of the Earth. Like experienced foxes or carrier pigeons, they can easily find their way home from anywhere in the asphalt maze using a portable navigator, and, thanks to the collective intelligence of the Internet, they know everything about everything.

Achievements in the creation of technical means of communication are so great that it is almost impossible to comprehend them, to embrace them without special technical education. A person changes, getting used to the abundance of information. He moves quickly, communicates a lot. He is always online, always available, always connected!

We often think - what is he like, a person of the communicative era, who received such opportunities? Is he happy in this new world he created? How do new technical means of communication interweave into the lives of adults and children, how do they help them to express themselves, find inner comfort?

You can speculate about this and many other things at the “In Touch” exhibition together with the artist Sergei Belov, a metropolitan resident involved in the cycle of city life.
