The digital video installation combines seven videos that explore the issues of perception as the correlation point of both physiological and cultural processes. The artist being exposed to medical testing by various apparatus and technologies makes visual preparations of the results and questions the gap between the visible and the real. The exhibition is curated by Daria Parkhomenko.

The workshop is designed to elucidate the international experience of Science Art projects tracking the process from posing a problem to art practices. The carried out projects of Nicolas Reeves (The Cloud Harp, SAILS) will become a brilliant illustration of the suggested model of formation and a practical component of the workshop.
