The third Creative Laboratories from Gazprombank and Zenit was dedicated to projects that combine art, technology and ecology.
More than 100 participants from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kaliningrad, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Ekaterinburg, Petrozavodsk, Murmansk and even from Serbia were able to attend the event and apply to take part in the project.
23 applicants were selected and placed into six mixed teams, with the aim to bring together environmental scientists, artists, sound engineers and graphic designers. The participants gathered at the Gazprom Arena to work on their projects in person and on day one, an eco-tour of the stadium took place, telling all there about the club's push to care for the environment as part of our day-to-day activities.
Concepts of multimedia, video, sound and art installations related to the eco-agendas of both Gazprombank and the Gazprom Arena were presented and discussed on the day, with laboratory participants going on to create concepts for their ideas.
Expert advisors were on hand to help with the projects and these included the project curator Ksenia Diodorova from Gonzo: Research&Art, Alexandra Gavrilova and Sergey Titov from Stain media studio and Elena Bykovskaya from ITMO University.
The next stage will include the finalisation and production of projects, and will conclude with an exhibition at ITMO university, one of the project's partners.
Everyone at Zenit and Gazprombank wishes to thank all the participants of Creative Laboratories for their productive work!
