Symposium “New Elements”

The symposium is held as a part of a public educational program of the exhibition «New Elements» and aims to bring to the forefront the current issues of new artistic practices that redefines the relationship between digital and analogue computational processes and systems.

The symposium has two main objectives. The first concerns institutional practices. Together with colleagues from leading institutions in the field, we will try to define the boundaries of what science-art is today, to discuss recent trends and principles and to see where it could head in the future. The second aim is to discuss the exhibition «New Elements», which is currently taking place in the West Wing of the New Tretyakov Gallery, and reflect on the artworks presented.

The symposium program ends with a spectacular performance by the German artist Ralf Baecker: «The Natural History of Networks / SoftMachine».
