Anna Frants continues her series of pre-New Year’s exhibitions in the halls of the Borey Gallery, started in 2006. As in previous years, the artist will present video and audio installations. Like all works by Anna Frants, the installations are partly fantasy and partly an instinctive immersion, intertwined with programming and robotics
ARE PROUD TO PRESENT:
Held annually since 2007, CYBERFEST is the first and biggest festival for technologically based art in Russia. Growing over years to become a massive international event, CYBERFEST 2012 rose to include over 80 artists held across St Petersburg’s top institutions: The State Hermitage Museum, Peter and Paul Fortress, KURYOKHIN MODERN ART CENTER, POLIGRAF Art Hall, Borey Gallery, and the Gallery of Experimental Sound.
This year, CYBERFEST will be held in Berlin from November 12 to 17 – marking the first time this important event is held outside St Petersburg. This significant move was designed to strengthen the cultural exchange between Art and Technology creatives within Russia and their international counterparts.
