Kersnikova Institute is an investigative art production platform in the merging field of art, science, and technology. Along with Kapelica Gallery, it has built an infrastructure of wet and mechatronic laboratories.
The three decades of working with artists on living systems, biotechnologies, AI, and more also reflect in peer2peer, DIY, and open-source educational programs. Kersnikova collaborates with experts, institutes, and the economic sector by integrating them into the creative processes.

Kerosene Chronicles. Fungus
Where Dogs Run (RU/SL): Natalia Grekhova, Olga Inozemtseva, Alexey Korzukhin
Kerosene fungus is a technophile organism living in fuel tanks. It uses the consequences of the Anthropocene to its evolutionary advantage. During the course of its metabolism, the fungus changes the smell of the fuel in which it has settled. This became the starting point for modeling chemical communication between bio- and cyber-organisms.
