Abstract

The article deals with the aspects of filling the post-industrial heritage with innovative media art practices. On the example of actual foreign and domestic post-industrial locations, in particular, the activities of the experimental platform “Art Residence Carbon”, the outlined aspects are practically realized and analyzed in this article. It is emphasized that the demand for creativity causes strong competition between the cities that attract and inspire creative people to create individual or collective art projects. Modern information technologies provide new opportunities for communication, contribute to the spread of the activist movement in the urban environment. In this context, it is noted that the role of artistic practices that are a way of translation of historical experience, fixation of the present and projection of the future is significantly increasing. Modern creative practices based on the latest digital technologies go beyond the established spaces of museums, galleries, etc., and are implemented on different platforms of Internet social platforms and urban spaces. It has been proved that the latest artistic practices unite the creators and viewers of artistic works into a single whole, level the boundary between the subject and the object, and provide limitless possibilities of expression and representation. These processes are a sign of democratic society as well as an important component of urban identity. It is shown that the activist movement involves not only professional artists, but also a wide range of diverse communities that strive for creative self-realization. Experimental approach is the basis for their search, artistic understanding of contemporary problems. As a result, it is emphasized that urban spaces become a kind of art laboratories for festivals, forums, discussions, social connections, and art projects. In many countries the defining functions of the information society (cultural and artistic, office, commercial, entertainment, etc.) have found the ability to deploy in large territories and have begun to develop devastated industrial spaces.
