Kostya Mitenev
Positive Models of St.-Petersburg's Future
Russia 2000

I think that the trend of architecture are biological shapes, bodies with an extension of artificial life and artificial intellectual forms. bioloid's shapes, which have to be digital corrections: sensors, tactile elements, interactivity. The materials have to be green-techno (ecological) on one side and opened and intimate on the other. Buildings have to be in contact with a the master of the house as spaces in time and spaces out of time. There is no illusion, but sharp imagination of objects as models. We need sensibility game with the world, where our own world (a meta-world) has a community sign in the world. Now everybody is an architecture of his own house-world. First of all, the building is produced in the cyberspace, then in actual reality. There is an on-line architecture, which navigates and builds an off-line architecture. It is not far away the time when neuro-robots will make materials and shapes according to the master's imagination and they will be able to collaborate on-line with other robots and masters. This will be the age of Cyber-biological architecture projects. This is the next future.

From 1986 to 1991, Kostya Mitenev worked amongts the Leningrad underground filmmakers of "Parallelnoe kino", in the Necrorealist group. In 1987, she studied in A. Sokurov's cinema school and then she created some short films in 16mm, 35mm and video: "Followers of Olf", in 1987; "Mute wave", in 1988; "Stupid lips", in 1990; "Screen dreams", in 1992. In 1991, she organized the show "New Neaven And A Moon On It" on Isaak Square, during the night of recall Leningrad to Saint Petersburg, where she proclaimed "the end of the cinema and the beginning of a new vision". She created the "Bioloid-Factory", a group of media-artists. From 1991 to 1994, she participated in some local and international film-video festivals and art exhibitions. In 1994, she was in Offenbuch at the Mine's Art school, where she created my first computer-animation "C.R.E.E.N. Love". She also participated in a performance-exhibition on Germany "Stubnitz" art-ship in Saint Petersburg. In 1996, she organized The First Russian Cyberexpedition "Netman" in Helsinki, Finland and she created the web-project "UNDINA"(UNited DIgital NAtions). She participated in the presentation of the First Russian net-cafe "Tetris"/DUX company in SPb. Then, she created my own interactive digital gallery "Bionet Gallery" in the Internet. She also produced "The Broeken Files" sci-fi (in russian) web-film, she also organized "A Great Clone Party" (Paris - Linz - Berlin - Geneva -Losanne - London - Saint Petersburg - Osaka - San Francisco) in SPb, "Digital Body", a 3D-site for Cyberfeminine conference, with N.Y.C. via the Internet and a lot of international web-art exhibitions, such as "Japan in future". In 1998, she created the Next Media (NEXA) generation way in media-art (Next Future Now). Since then she has been working on "Positive Models Of Saint Petersburg's Future", as a symbolic virtual landscape of today's culture in 3D.
