Exhibited Works: CAS_08 Hellenistic Ruler, CAS_V07 Deep Portrait Studies, CAS_V04 Hellenistic Portrait, CAS_09 Colossal head of Hercules
Duration: 22.09 – 23.09.2018
Event type: Group show
Organizer: St. Petersburg Committee for Culture
Venue: St. Petersburg, Russia
On September 22 and 23, the Russian Railway Museum became one of the venues for the Science Fest scientific festival organized with the support of the St. Petersburg Committee for Culture. Visitors of the Museum were able to learn about the foremost achievements of science and engineering (from broadening brain capabilities using neuro-gadgets to eye-tracking in Robotics) and to take part in discussions of them. Besides the permanent exhibition, there was an exhibition of #artsciencefest trend works, presented by modern artists: Andrey Svibovich(Träumen audiovisual installation), Egor Kraft (Content Aware Studies Series project), Daria Shkelyova (Metametaphor vol.1 installation), Konstantin Dovzhik (Resonance interactive audiovisual installation), Anton Chumak (total installation from the Salt project) and Viktor Kudryashov (Forced Absence reflection exhibition).

A critical and technical exploration of the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone. This work questions the epistemological qualities of AI-accelerated historiography, akin to 'reverse archaeology'.
