Animation / Design & Art: 'Art of Science' - Projection, Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" 2016

'Art of Science' - Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" 2016 "Projection shown on the façade of the Moscow State University was presented at the Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light". The history of the university, scientific discoveries and legends associated with the "world of science" — all these were shown to the audience on September 23, 24 and 25, 2016. The largest ever video projection was presented on the façade of a unique architectural landmark, the main tower of Moscow State University at the Vorobyovy Hills. The large-scale project gave us a unique experience: the projected area covered over 50 000 square meters and was over 0.5 km long, 212 projectors were used for the show. The dynamic 9-minute multimedia story is not only a fascinating piece about the Moscow State University's history, but an artwork representing contemporary styles of abstract graphics."
