Current (Provides Ng, Eli Joteva, Artem Konevskikh, Alexey Yansitov (Yanzi))

‘Current’ is a collaborative digital practice driven by an interest in the reciprocal relationships between virtual and physical spaces. Through the medium of volumetric cinema, ‘Current’ delineates the multiplicity of futures in the attention economy and its material manifestation. An interdisciplinary, intercultural collective based in China/Russia/Europe/UK/USA, includes architects, researchers, artists, CG specialists, engineers, data-analysts, and programmers working at the intersection of art, science and technology: Provides Ng, Eli Joteva, Artem Konevskikh, Alexey Yansitov (Yanzi). ‘Current’ denotes its broader network of Creative Commons. The team experiments first-hand with technologies that are readily available to any individuals, formulating distributive pipelines to support ‘collaborative intelligence’ - the democratisation of intelligent tools into a crowdsourced, problem-solving network. ‘Current’ has exhibited and taught worldwide, including Rijksmuseum Twenthe, The Bartlett UCL, GOGBOT festival, CultureHub LA, UCLA Sci | Art Lab, SUPERCOLLIDER Gallery, and many more.
