Yandex Museum will host its seventh annual festival about people and technology.
On September 27 and 28, Yandex Museum will host its seventh annual festival about people and technology. The program is suitable for both adults and children: lectures by engineers and artists, master classes, quests and quizzes, interactive exhibits, a rover race, video game tournaments, and a retro arcade area. The event will be held at the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art, and admission is free.
Each location consists of three thematic blocks: retro, technological art, and Yandex. In the exhibition area, you can receive a compliment from a Smart Camera, play a game from Yandex Education, or participate in a delivery robot race. For those who prefer hands-on activities, there's a workshop run by "Repairers of the Beautiful," where you'll learn how to solder and give electronics a second life. There's also a place for nostalgia: the "Vidachestvo" project will display rare televisions and 20th-century equipment. The Polytechnic Museum will let you peer inside microchips and lamps using microscopes and even assemble an electrical circuit. Visitors can also enjoy works by the "Birch Prompt" art group and an aquarium with a robotic fish—it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
"The Yandex Museum Festival grew out of the 'Demodulation' event. This year, we updated the format: while the central themes previously centered on inventions of the past, the program will now focus on technologies that permeate all spheres of life. In addition to the historical exhibits, we've added a lecture series on science and art.
There will be workshops for children. For example, in the "Atelier of the Future," you can design your own outfit, and artificial intelligence will instantly transform it into a 3D model on a virtual runway. In the "Modern Lighting Technologies" class, you'll learn how to assemble circuits from light bulbs. And at the "Control a Robot!" workshop, everyone will try their hand at being a developer and complete missions with a delivery rover. Indie musicians will also perform at the event. At the festival, you'll also be able to buy Yandex merchandise and visit the stands of the project's partners: the Cryptography Museum, "Robostation," the Pinball Museum, the Telephone History Museum, leading Russian universities (ITMO and HSE), and others.
The Yandex Museum Festival will be held in Moscow at the Winzavod Contemporary Art Center: 4th Syromyatnichesky Lane, 1/8, Building 8, Entrance 14. Admission is free, but pre-registration is required. on the website.
