An exhibition of technological art opened in the Yandex Museum
By ForGeeks The exhibition “Digital Refractions” dedicated to the interaction between humans and technology has opened at the Yandex Museum. It features works by artists who use neural networks, VR and other technologies in their art. This is the first exhibition of contemporary art in the Museum. It was prepared in cooperation with the Art & Science Center of ITMO University.
The exhibition included works by artists Kami Usu, SYMETRIA, Nadezhda Bey, Veronika Kislova, Danila Logvinenko, Anna Pryakhina, Alexander Pogrebnyak and Anton Shchegolev. They used a variety of tools and technologies in their works – from oscilloscope to virtual reality effects and neural networks. Visitors to the exhibition will see objects and installations that allow them to feel a part of virtual reality and get a new experience. For example, they will be able to try out a device that interprets people’s emotions, learn how an embryo perceives the world around it and how information noise sounds. They will also be able to try on a digital avatar that will repeat their actions with the help of motion capture sensors.
On weekdays, guests will be on their own to explore the exhibits. On weekends and holidays, guests can attend guided tours conducted by the curators of the exhibition from the Yandex Museum and the Art & Science Center. In addition, the exhibition will include public lectures, workshops and discussions on contemporary art. The exhibition will run until June 12, 2024. It takes place at the Yandex Museum at Paveletskaya metro station (Sadovnicheskaya St., 82c2, BC Aurora).
