DANIIL FRANTS

The performance by Ivan Govorkov and Daniil Frants is first of all a dialog between art generations: Govorkov is a professor, a professional with academic education and a drawing virtuoso; Frants is a computer programmer and a specialist in the creative use of new technologies. The question that the artists raise in this work is quite pressing for current art practices: to what extent is it possible to integrate technologies into traditional art? Frants transforms Govorkov’s graphic improvisations into a three-dimensional form with the help of a computer program of his creation, computer modeling, a modern scanner and a 3D printer. By adding virtual space to pencil lines, Frants creates an absolutely new art object in real space.
