The concept of Digital Decade5: Cyberia was “the Unknown Territories Shaped by the Digital Ethnos”. This, “Ethnos” refers to the generation of digital people that are changing our world, and continuing to influence our culture. As our world becomes increasingly digital, it ultimately transforms to become a ‘Cyberia’.
The whole identity of Digital Decade 5 was created by famous artist Ruslan Khasanov who has recently won ADC Young Gun 15 Award and Behance selected him to decorate their own Behance Decade :)
The curator of Digital Decade and Designcollector founder Arseny Vesnin was happy enough to cross path with leading artist Shane Griffin whose works you can see on iPhone X and 8 now. But long before this, he created a special artwork for Cyberia collaboration

Digital Decade 5 was hosted by Ugly Duck space as a part of their Creative Seasons program. Ugly Duck is a London Based social enterprise that revitalises empty and underused buildings, and open them up for creative uses. Ugly Duck has also been used as unusual locations for films, photoshoots, and events.
There is no good exhibition without collectible catalogue of featured artists. Digital Decade 2017 is no exception and you can still support us by ordering the catalogue to your doors.
Elena Kulikova immersed herself in a world of commercial photography as a model while simultaneously experimenting on her own in her 20s. Self-taught but mentored by well known photographers, Elena launched her photographic career in Amsterdam in 2006. Her feminine sensibility and creative processing push her photography to deepen the subjects she photographs.
Worth to mention that Elena is a resident of our Digital Decade art collaboration and took a part in London, 2016 exhibition "There is No Planet B" with the concept of "Imagine there is no contamination" briefly shown below.
Eye Love To See You is the ongoing project of photgrapher Elena Kulikova (also resident of our Digital Decade 4 collaboration). Elena began a photo study of eyes in 2012, this is a place where you can see the onoing collection of photographs and participate in future eye portrait sessions.
