onedotzero delivered a diverse festival programme at Yota Space, St Petersburg
onedotzero headed to the beautiful, wintery St Petersburg to present a scintillating selection of installations, screening programmes and live audiovisual performances at Yota Space.
This brand new collaboration with the International Festival of Audiovisual Arts Yota Space saw five floors of a former department store be transformed into a museum of contemporary art and surprise entertainment centre.
With regular onedotzero artists including UVA, Jason Bruges and Memo Akten, onedotzero occupied one floor with a stunning exhibition space designed by Francesco Draisci Studio.
A one day creative conference also gave visitors a chance to meet some of the featured artists and learn more about their work.
