The International Biennale "Art for the Future"

The first International Biennale ‘Art for the Future’ at the Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow shows art projects based on the latest Industry 4.0 technologies (neural networks, robotics, 3D animation, virtual and augmented reality) which reflect the changes that technology brings to the life of each person and the whole society.

"Superconsumer" (2021) by Aristarkh Chernyshev, presented at the exhibition at MAMM, was created specifically for the biennale:

In the era of hyperconsumerism the old slogan ‘Work, consume, die!’ acquires new connotations.
After reaching a peak of development every civilisation inevitably moves towards decline. The ‘golden age’ of the civilisation of overconsumption may end in global catastrophe.
Disposable goods fill supermarket shelves and the number of cheap products made from synthetic materials is off the scale, creating problems with waste recycling, air pollution, soil, water and oceans all over the world and ultimately leading to global climate change, the disappearance of entire species of animals and plants.
Just sorting waste is no longer enough, we have to change the basic principles by which our economy and society function.
