CYLAND / IVAN GOVORKOV / DANIIL FRANTS
“PATTERNS OF THE MIND”
Live Drawing, Pencil on Paper
(translated into 3d by CYLAND technology creator Daniil Frants)
Not a sketch, painted canvas, nor a performance – CYLAND artist Ivan Govorkov’s “Patterns of the Mind” is a hybrid between graphics, easel painting and action in the spirit of Abstract Expressionism or Late Surrealism. Drawn by the artist live in the exhibition space, viewers experience the composition alongside the artist as it comes from hand in 2D and is translated into 3D by accomplished technology teen wonder – CYLAND artist Daniil Frants.
As part of CYLAND’s main creative talent – Ivan Govorkov is active in CYBERFEST’s Berlin and St Petersburg based programming. His work is included in collections of The State Russian Museum, The Hermitage Museum, Museum of the History in Saint Petersburg, Museum of History in Ekaterinburg. Historical and Art museum in Astrahan, Historical and Art Museum in Pskov, Historical and Art museum in Arhangelsk, Historical and Art Museum in Gatchina, Kolodzei’s Collection, Chudnovski’s Collection, Goznes’ Collection among others.
16 year old Daniil Frants has lead workshops on creative uses of Technology before he was a teenager. The youngest intern at MIT media lab, Frants has organized and led groups of children to explore the basics of robots and programming at high profile institutions including The Computerspeile Museum in Berlin, The Hermitage Museum/ Russia and Kyoseinosato Museum/ Japan and Gogolfest/Ukraine.

* Along with the exhibition a cross-generational and cross-cultural dialog will be presented on November 29 with Mr. Fumio Nanjo, Director of Mori Art Museum who is considered as a leader of Japanese art world, and our very own Daniil Frants, genius young programmer who has been active through countries such as the U.S., Russia and Germany. Through the very special encounter of the two from quite different age groups, backgrounds and environments where they grew up, they are wondering “In what color will the ‘arts’ shine?“ It will be no doubt a great occasion to witness the exciting art critiques beyond the generations and cultures.
