Group “Electroboutique” consists of Aristarkh Chernyshev, born in 1969 and Alexei Shulgin, born in 1963. Both Professors at Rodchenko Multimedia Schools they live and work in Moscow.
Electroboutique has the closest affinities with design in this exhibition. Its objects and installations are spectacular, interactive and play with our perceptions. They promise a lot – each looking like a designer object – yet fail to deliver: they’re really about criticizing our consumerist society.
Electroboutique is a unique creative electronics production company, a media art gallery and an artist collective. Their products are developed in modern technological forms: user-friendly electronic devices and computer programs, which are at the same time artworks and exist beyond national and cultural borders. Their works lie at the meeting point of cool aesthetics and information technology, modern design, pop-art and real-time data processing. Their techniques amalgamate open source and proprietary solutions with the key art media of past decades.
