A multimedia project where the Ukrainian media artists Photinus Studio, the SVITER Art Group, and Ivan Svitlychnyi will enter into a dialogue with the visionary developments of scientists from the 1960s to the 1980s as well as the popular science film studio Kyivnaukfilm which operated in the same period. The exhibition will include films by Kyivnaukfilm which represent the almost 30-year span of its existence:
Eternal Search (1967),
Mykola Amosov (1971), and
Captivate with an unprecedented task (1982). Photinus Studio, the SVITER Art Group and Ivan Svitlychny will present media works based on a generative algorithm they have developed, which analyses film and animation as an array of visual data. The team will also show video documentation of the collective web performance, in which the members of the art team rethink the concept of ‘corporeality’ using virtual space.
Dates: 26 March – 23 April.
