"PULSAR lamp is a project by SAVE art & science laboratory. The project’s idea is to create a design object which would allow observing a chemical process in real time. Substance sublimation and crystallization processes can be observed inside the PULSAR lamp. We have created a series of such lamps using different chemical processes. Alchemy means transformation, which takes place not only in chemistry but also in the human consciousness. We are interested in investigating mental transformation processes inside a human being."
““Icarus” is my non-narrative short drone film and really a homage to an awesome piece of technology, Phantom 3 Pro, that travels with me for the past 2 years to many many locations. From rocky cliffs of Isle of Skye to the mighty Dolomites in Italy. From unearthly Icelandic landscapes to lake belfry in Russia. Never in a million years have I though it would be possible to capture worlds beauty from this new and exiting prospects. New technology gives us this creative freedom and I am going to explore it furthermore.”

Moscow-based designer Maksim Arbuzov made a sort of an art statement by juxtaposing two icons of mass-production and contemporary art: IKEA and Malevich
"The moment when culture is reflecting in a mass product. Time is going and we often don’t see how history influences to our culture and markets.

Dmitri Aske had his first solo show in September — October, 2016 in Vladey Space Gallery, Moscow, Russia. The exhibition called Reality 2.0 included eight new artworks made in the artist's unique technique of a multilayer plywood relief especially for the show. All the works are dedicated to the digital era we are living in, now that the Internet takes up more and more of our time and attention becoming for many people the second reality. The addiction some people have might be even compared to a mother-child relationship. At the same time, as Marshall McLuhan wrote as far back as 1960s, people don't actually notice how new media entering our lives are gradually changing us.
A person born before the 1990s sees video calls, a 'computer-in-your-pocket' phone, and a broadband Internet connection available almost everywhere as materialisation of the future. Meanwhile, the new generation takes all that for granted as a beginning of a new era. In his new body of work, Dmitri Aske reflects our time suggesting that the viewers should contemplate how much all of us are absorbed by Reality 2.0.
