HSE Garden Pavilion: Round Table
HSE University
Our round-table discussion will unite specialists in media history, semiotics of contemporary art, game studies, digital art and design — our goal will be to rethink perspectives of the online-based condition humaine.

Diana Artemeva (RU), Kate Umnova (RU), Irina Rusakova (RU)

Portals, having several meanings, can be perceived as an architectural entrance, a web-based platform, connecting different sources, a passage to different worlds, getting more mythological.
Snow Castles: The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Study while depressed
Yulia Krasova (RU), Alexey Ryumin (RU), Anna Novikova (RU)
This game allows users to release tension and frustration about their behavior in the face of approaching deadlines, final exams, and other causes for procrastination.
Transprivacy
Alexa Zotova (RU), Kate Umnova (RU), Sergey Zakharov (RU)
"Transprivacy" is a speculative browser game exploring the ambiguous nature of social networks’ transparency. It also questions one’s ownership over their digital copy.
Xtal Castle
Katya Pravda (RU), Anna Novikova (RU), Yulia Yousma (RU), Alexey Ryumin (RU)
Katya Pravda’s art is viewer-oriented, it’s democratic. The parts this art is made of are a pleasure in themselves — flower petals, branches, stones, vegetables, mushrooms. But then vigorous intraframe editing jumps in the form of fake eyelash glue. The familiar is fading, giving way to the unknown.
