Tief im Herzen der POSTCITY ergründen GaleristInnen, KünstlerInnen, TheoretikerInnen und SammlerInnen die Komplexität des neuen Medienmarktes aus eigener Erfahrung. Von den Geschäftsmodellen für junge KünstlerInnen über die Aspekte der zeitgenössischen Kunst in neuen Medienkunstwerken bis hin zur Konservierung von Vergangenheit und Gegenwart: Die Gallery Space Panels schaffen ein umfassendes Bild des Medienkunstmarktes 2018.
Der Zusammenhang zwischen Repräsentation und Selbstrepräsentation online gegenüber der realen Welt wird im Zentrum der Diskussion stehen. Während sie über Tech-Durchbrüche sprechen, werden die Vortragenden diskutieren, wie diese Innovationen die Art verändern, wie wir online sehen und gesehen werden wollen. Die Fragen, die sich im Kontext der heutigen hybriden Realität stellen, und die Faktoren, die die Wahrnehmung des Selbst im Internet beeinflussen, werden von den folgenden Vortragenden aufgegriffen: Martha Fiennes (UK), preisgekrönte Filmregisseurin, Autorin und Produzentin; Andrey Sebrant (RU), Direktor für strategisches Marketing bei Yandex; Egor Kraft (RU), Interdisziplinärer Künstler; Anika Meier (DE), Kunstkritikerin und Kuratorin; Masha Sergeeva (UK), Kommunikationsdirektorin .ART

Biografien
Martha Fiennes (UK)
Martha Fiennes, award-winning film-director, writer and producer. Fiennes is best known for her films Onegin (1999) and Chromophobia (2005) and brings to her art substantial experience of film directing and cutting-edge post production technologies. With her team, headed by producer Peter Muggleston, Fiennes applies coding principles adapted from gaming engine structures to create majestic moving images which perpetually self-generate in a continuous and non-predictable cycle. This innovative technique is described as Sloimage .Nativity (2011), her debut work utilising this radical new medium has been exhibited at The National Gallery, London, The Victoria and Albert museum, Sotheby’s London and Paris, Covent Garden Piazza and The Hermitage in St Petersburg. In her most recent moving image artwork, Yugen, (2018) which features Salma Hayek as the leading figure, Fiennes explores the boundaries of her medium to create a visual exploration into our perception of reality. This work was commissioned by TenderCapital. The preview exhibition was at Palazzo Grassi in Venice, September 2018. Yugen is the first work to be registered on Art Records service developed by .ART. Art Records is the new international standard of art object identification on the internet. The service is based on Object ID standard developed by J. Paul Getty Trust and adopted by major law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, Scotland Yard, Interpol, UNESCO and ICOM, among others.
