Sergey Teterin about the seminar: The fact is that since 1998 I have been an employee of three media art laboratories and have participated in the organization and management of three different media art festivals. I remember how it was in the late 90s, and I can tell you where it evolved in Russia. I will tell you about the pitfalls of professional work in the international media art laboratory and reveal the production secrets of our Cyberfest, which turns 10 this year. I will show archival photos and videos, as well as tell about my own difficult path as a provincial media artist.
