Master Class by Phygital Artist Kirill Rave “Architecture in the Age of AI: How an Artist Uses Technology to Dream and Bring to Life Projects That Unite Styles and Cultures”
How can architectural thinking help us work with AI? How can technology enable new ways of engaging with cultural and traditional codes? And how does an audiovisual dialogue between different eras emerge?
Join us for a meeting with Kirill Rave, an artist and architect whose practice lies at the intersection of digital art, architecture, and technology. Kirill will discuss how his experience of working with space, form, and composition influences his artistic practice, and will present projects that vary in scale, medium, and cultural context.

From a Family Archive to Documentary Film: Master Class by Domenico Lucchini
How can letters, diaries, and old photographs be transformed into a cinematic narrative? Using the film "Memoirs of a Mountain Doctor" as an example, Swiss director Domenico Lucchini will explain how the story of his grandfather became the basis for a documentary essay.
Working with archives and eyewitnesses, filming in Switzerland and Belarus, and combining archival footage with contemporary images — participants will trace the journey from a family investigation to an auteur film about memory, emigration, and the search for home.
