The Tselinniy Center for Contemporary Culture is now accepting applications for the Re-Practice Lab. This annual interdisciplinary program focuses on the latest artistic practices, with special emphasis on new media.
The 2024 program, Re-Engage with Nature, centers around current environmental issues in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. It aims to utilize digital technologies to enhance our understanding and re-evaluation of our relationship with nature. The Lab will be conducted entirely online, allowing participation from all regions of Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
The program welcomes emerging artists, designers, ecologists, curators, programmers, and architects who wish to address pressing environmental concerns and create digital projects. Participants will explore contemporary philosophical concepts of the Anthropocene, the theory and history of digital art, gain a deeper understanding of current environmental issues, and master digital tools for visualizing environmental data.
The Re-Practice Lab Program, Re-Engage with Nature, includes:
