Olga Shishko: “Video Art: from Physical to Metaphysical”

Media art introduces us to new ways of interaction with the world around us. Video artists, inspired by the discoveries of the early 20th century, create contemplative, slow cinema that origins in experiments with colour, light, rhythm, and sound. Capturing the moment of transformation of the physical into the metaphysical, the masters focus on the images of chance that shape our reality, inviting the viewer to look beyond it. On this journey, we will meet the works of Bill Viola, Woody and Steina Vasulka, Abbas Kiarostami, Anri Sal, Malcolm Le Gris, Jonas Mekas and other artists and directors of the 20th and 21th centuries. Speaker: Olga Shishko, chief curator of the Pushkin Museum XXI, head of the Department of Cinema and Media Art of The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts A new course of the Virtual Academy – “Media Art: Practices and Optics” – is prepared by the leading Russian specialists in new media and technologies. It is focused on video art, cinema, computer and interactive art, video and digital performance, artificial intelligence, net art, crypto art and an emerging phenomenon of NFT (Non-Fungible Token – a type of digital assets/certificates used to sell digital goods, artworks included). The course gives a revised approach to presenting its content: instead of a lecturer, we have a guide who leads viewers through the flux of visual imagery; and instead of simple illustrations, we have a dynamic collage of image and sound.
