The Deering Estate is presenting the International Media Art Festival CYFEST15: Vulnerability, organized by CYLAND Media Art Lab and CYLAND Foundation Inc. The exhibition will run through Jan. 3, 2024, at the Deering Estate outdoor grounds and third floor of the Stone House.
The exhibition comprises of three layers — media installation, sound, and performance — that invoke technologies developed to rediscover and affect space. The Deering Estate, a historical landmark with over 450 acres of natural landscape, including eight native ecosystems, will host a series of works expanding on the festival’s theme of Vulnerability.
These pieces created with CYLAND Media Art Lab engineers will be in dialogue with the historical context of the place, irrevocably connected both to the past and future, the urban and natural.
This exhibition is an invitation, while following the route from one artwork to another, to take a closer look at the issue of how we are included in the world. At the Deering Estate, featured are the works of artists who closely collaborated with the CYLAND Media Art Lab.
At the core of CYLAND is the creation of media art in close dialogue between artists and engineers.
CYFEST 15 at the Deering Estate is designed to be placed in spaces with characteristic sensibility and meaning, such as historic buildings or natural environments. It is envisaged as a cross-disciplinary and multi-sensory exhibition that stimulates the perception of the artwork’s idea via different senses and experiences.
This project is made possible in collaboration with the Kolodzei Art Foundation. The project’s general sponsor is One Market Data.
Artists are George Bagdasarov, Todd Barton, Rumore Bianco, Anthony Bisset, Bred Blondie (Gleb Glonti), Vasilii Bakanov & Andrew Strokov, Alexander Bochkov, Budhaditya Chattopadhyay, Sam Conran, CYLAND Audio Archive, Alexandra Dementieva, Lena Filatova, Anna Frants, Glia/Bugaev, Jonáš Gruska, Elena Gubanova & Ivan Govorkov, Alexey Grachev, A.

CYFEST, one of the biggest international media art festivals in Eastern Europe, was founded by a group of independent artists and curators in 2007. Since its inception in 2007, CYFEST’s main concerns have been to examine the dialogue between various visual languages and technology cultures, and thus to explore a way of communing with both art professionals and scientific communities.
CYFEST unites artists, curators, educators, engineers, programmers, and media activists all over the world, and creates an inclusive platform for mapping, mediation, and documentation of new media art on different regional and international levels.
CYFEST is one of the world’s few nomadic cultural events: throughout the year, festival projects are presented at leading cultural institutions around the world. Each year, the festival program includes several exhibition projects, sound art, video and educational programs.
CYFEST 15: Vulnerability is a series of traveling exhibitions hosted worldwide by prominent cultural and public institutions. Under the theme of vulnerability, CYFEST 15 showcases artworks that explore and reflect on vulnerability from a range of points of view — from the fragility of an ecosystem to the vulnerability of memory, from the preservation of becoming old media art to the state of equilibrium being within nature- and techno- worlds. CYFEST 15 took place in Yerevan, Armenia, in September and will continue in Venice, Italy, in 2024.
Deering Estate is located at 16701 SW 72 Ave. in Palmetto Bay.
