The event will take two days (November, 15–16). Day 2.
New technologies are not only rapidly implemented in today's life — they are already today's life, and arts inevitably have to respond to everything new that appears in the world. How do innovations change conventional forms and contents of contemporary art? How natural is their introduction, what is really considered progressive and what can't stick under any circumstances?
These are the questions to be discussed at the 4th International Congress 'New Technologies in Arts' that will be held by the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet in cooperation with the Saint Petersburg State University on November 15–16, 2019, in the framework of the VIII Saint Petersburg International Cultural Forum.
