Yuval Noah Harari wrote in his book “Homo Deus: a Brief History of Tomorrow”: “By equating the human experience with data patterns, Dataism undermines our main source of authority and meaning, and heralds a tremendous religious revolution, the like of which has not been seen since the eighteenth century.” As a curator, I explored the post-revolution world of Dataism together with music curator Dmitry Ustinov and multimedia design studio SETUP design. A ‘Digital Altar’ AV live performance was a place where physical (and human too) met digital intangible forms of data. More on this - in the video itself. That was a special project of a digital public art festival Rosbank Future Cities: five commissioned site-specific artworks by young artists presented through AR in six different cities across Russia. A form allowed a safe (and free of charge) view of the artworks during curated audio tours across the cities.
