ART:TECH EXHIBITION at National Art Club, New York, explores ID as a phenomenon with wide scatter of meanings – from the term in psychoanalysis (id) to the document that certifies one’s identity (ID) – from the forms of sociopolitical functioning of portraits of Soviet Nonconformism to the images of mass culture, aesthetics of ID cards, passport picture and social networks. This exhibition brings together a collection of experiential-based ideas and projects mediated by technologically progressive visualization methods, as well as paintings, drawings, photography, video, and sculpture.
The exhibition is organized by CYLAND Media Art Lab in collaboration with the Kolodzei Art Foundation. In May of 2019, ID. ART:TECH EXHIBITION was on display at Ca’ Foscari Zattere Cultural Flow Zone, Venice, Italy.
The list of artists includes Martha Wilson, ORLAN, Faith Ringgold; Cyland MediaArtLab artists and interactive works by Anna Frants, Ludmila Belova, Alexandra Dementieva, Elena Gubanova, Ivan Govorkov, Sergey Komarov, Alexey Grachev, Alexander Terebenin, a special selection of contemporary sound art from Cyland Audio Archive.
