Cyfest-14: Ferment examines the theme of fermentation through the dual lenses of art and ecology. Through art installations, workshops and talks, it will explore the metamorphoses that fermentation represents.

Ferment is a collaboration with Cyfest, the biggest digital art festival in Eastern Europe, formed by Cyland, a Russian artists’ collective. The festival began in St Petersburg in 2007 and explores new forms of art and high technology interactions, exposing audiences to works in the field of robotics, video art, sound art and net art.

Alexandra Dementieva will take part in the festival with her installation Source of energy, a symbiosis light sculpture in the shape of a glucose molecule. Inside each ball are fixed LEDs matching the established standard colours of the elements hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.

The festival takes place from 17 to 26 September at the Dartington Trust in Devon, UK.
