Daria Orlova is an trancedisciplinary artist from Murmansk. At the beginning of her artistic activity, Daria built total utopian installations, placing her works and the viewer there as direct participants in the interaction process. Now her practice pays more attention to situativeness, invisible choreography and mistakes. Total installations have become routes. The artist tries to fix the movement of thoughts, bodies and their agents by drawing with her eyes closed, moving away from an open dialogue with the artistic process, turning off one of the senses.
Lera Lerner (b. 1988, Leningrad) is an artist, curator, and mediator based in Paris. Through participatory projects, she investigates the paradoxical nature of expectations, the energy of side effects, the ethics of lying, suppressed desires, distracting maneuvers, and the possibilities of interspecific and cross-disciplinary communication.

3 PM: Daria Orlova and will owen will be performing a sound composition with a collaboratively created sculpture. The sculpture itself is meant to perform on its own and collaborate with Daria and will.
