Digital Looking Glass-2.0 Automatic translate

The exhibition “DIGITAL ZAZARAKALE-2.0” is a multi-level, interdisciplinary project designed to show the professional community and the general audience the new opportunities for introducing digital technologies into the experimental space of contemporary Russian art, forming a positive image of our country, both in the world and domestic art media space. Supporting modern, innovative and high-tech methods in realizing the creative potential of Russian artists, this project aims to expand the boundaries and stereotypes of exposition and educational practices.

It is already impossible to convince the modern viewer that a flat picture on the screen is a window to another world, we immediately see a fake. A person wants to immerse himself more and more in the plot depicted by the artist and is looking for a way to make it as realistic as possible. High-quality prints on metal, canvas, glass, etc., color cinema, high-definition video, interactive screens, three-dimensional images, VR-360, etc. - all these are just the first steps towards creating a truly deep immersion in the work created by the artist. The latest technologies allow you to use, create, broadcast unusual solutions and effects as a new plastic language.

According to the organizers of the project, a demonstration of unique digital works in a three-part exhibition space was planned, including 12 stereo-light panels, 25 paintings made in ultra-chrome technology, 4 video installations and 1 innovative 3D installation. Here everyone has the opportunity to immerse themselves in the hidden visual and animalistic resource of the work through a 360-degree stereo helmet with a touch control panel and virtual reality glasses (a unique ecosystem of compatible devices), as well as using a personal electronic device (smartphone, tablet) that allows you to navigate independently in the emerging 3-D scene, full of special effects, dynamics and sound.
