Anton Lapov
Anton Lapov is a media artist, computer musician and curator from Ukraine. Coordinator of media-art collective Art Cluster R+N+D and founder of digital record label BOCTOK, Lapov has been curating and participating in events in the field of experimental electronic music and media-art in Ukraine and abroad for more than a decade.
His artistic practice combines methodologies of humanities and critical theory with computational aesthetics ideas. In the past several years his projects were focused on exploring ecosystems via data visualization and sonification, research of militarization of societies by means of web-based art, problems of alternative communication systems through the lens of radio-art among other subjects. At the moment Lapov works on interactive movement-sensing audio environments with the premises that such an artistic medium can stimulate political articulation and production of new non-logocentric knowledge.
Lapov also investigates and archives contemporary Ukrainian sociocultural history. During 2011-2015 he worked in different historical Ukrainian museums as scientific assistant. Since 2015, together with Larion Lozovoy, curates and develops museological projects in context of multidisciplinary group “Critical Archiving Laboratory”. In 2015-2022 he was a researcher in Open Archive of Ukrainian Media-Art (specializing in sound-art and media art in Donbas region). (2024)
