What do an artist and a scientist have in common?
One creates, and the other opens the created.
Who is ahead if the artist uses the latest achievements of science in his work?
The most important scientific discoveries always provoke a wave of the creative process and the acceleration of technical progress, leading mankind, in one opinion, to the knowledge of the world, in another, moving away from its own nature, and therefore from the feeling of life.
Where is the line that separates living and nonliving matter, made up of identical elementary particles and penetrated through and through by even more elusive neutrinos?
On this intangible edge, art and science unite in the study of invisible processes and elementary laws.
The New Moscow Accelerator project brings together these different communities of researchers on a platform for the study of intellectual art and contemporary culture, involving in its orbit disparate concepts and people completely different in direction of thought, united by one territory, in which the project participants are invited to submit a part of their research and creative practice.
The theme of the 2015 art project - "Accident" - is close to both artists and scientists. Chance can determine the direction of research for years to come, and mistakes made along the way of research often lead to new discoveries.
The very attitude to randomness has changed significantly over the past 200 years, significantly squeezing out determinism and providing a platform for studying and creating self-organizing systems.
Thanks to the latest discoveries in the field of mathematics and physics, probability and chance events become the basis of laws and whole theories. During the 20th century, the concept of randomness has become firmly established in artistic practice from both the theoretical and practical sides.
Analysis of the inner world of complex systems gives a new impetus to the idea of randomness and brings the evolution of knowledge to a new level.
The project program as a whole always remains open.
This important principle holds true throughout.
The core of the project is made up of invited young authors with a unique handwriting and established direction of development, striving to use the latest technologies to translate their ideas. Represented on the territory of Troitsk, with its unique history and geography of interests, the scale of scientific thought and the breadth of views of the scientific community, artists can find worthy opponents in the face of scientists and create unique works as a result of the discussion. The general research process is accompanied by educational and discussion programs, composed of lectures by artists, scientists, urban architects, curators, as well as practical creative seminars.
