Screenings

MediaArtLab was founded as an independent organization in 1999 with the intention to build a bridge between activities in the fields of culture and new information and communication technologies. At the present date MediaArtLab is one of the leading organizations in Russia in the field of media art. Our main priorities are to develop interdisciplinary educational projects in the art of new technologies and media culture and to organize events popularizing new methods and ideas in exploiting new technologies’ potential or presenting separate periods and trends in media culture appropriation.

The list of main projects includes: Media Forum of the Moscow International Film Festival, International symposium for media culture “Pro&Contra” and many others. For the past 13 years MediaArtLab conducted educational programs all-over Russia, as well as numerous large-scale exhibitions at various partner venues (Moscow MOMA, Center for contemporary culture Garage, Ekaterina cultural Foundation and others). In the frames of the SOFT CONTROL: Art, Science and the Technological Unconscious project MediaArtLab will present works which demonstrate different aspects of new visual language. The program is curated by Olga Shishko (Director MediaArtLab) and Elena Rumyantseva (MediaArtLab Head of Programs).
