On December 21 the Multimedia Art Museum presents the first International Biennale ‘Art for the Future’. This Biennale will show art projects based on the latest Industry 4.0 technologies (neural networks, robotics, 3D animation, virtual and augmented reality), reflecting the changes that technology brings to the life of every person and society. Interactive installations will allow viewers to become accomplices in the creative process. The offline programme of the Biennale involves 62 projects, involving projects by ::vtol:: and Rostan Tavasiev.
::vtol:: will show his installation 'adad' – a mechanism that serves as a kind of interface between planetary processes and an audience. It consists of 12 transparent piezocrystals, grown especially for the project, and 12 motorized hammers that strike them. The installation is connected to the internet. Its core algorithm is controlled by data from a meteorological site which shows lightning strikes in real time.
The exhibition will also include Rostan Tavasiev's designs for sculptures using planetary nebulae as 'material.' The size of one such sculpture is comparable to the size of the solar system and can reach more than 30 trillion kilometers. For these designs, binary star systems were chosen which are in the early stages of forming planetary nebulae. Using natural physical processes, including those that act upon the expanding cloud of plasma with the mass of the second star in the system, the artist plans to give these nebulae complex shapes.
