On December 12, the Revolution gallery will host the second digital art festival Ideal Symmetry, bringing together designers, animators and photographers under 35. Guests will see an animation competition, exhibitions by young Irkutsk artists, and interactive audience participation in the creative process. The festival will run in four sections, Animation, Illustration, Design and Photography, and will showcase diverse forms of contemporary digital art.

Designers, animators, and photographers under the age of 35 will take part in the festival.
As part of the festival, there will be a competitive screening of animation clips by young Russian authors, as well as an exhibition of works by young Irkutsk designers, photographers, and artists. A distinctive feature of the event is its interactivity — the audience is expected to be involved in the creative process.
The festival will be held in four categories:
1) Stream “Animation”. Within this category, works created in 2D and 3D animation, clay, puppet, and hand-drawn animation, as well as motion graphics, will be presented.
2) Stream “Illustration” - the submitted competition entries must be created using graphic editors.
3) Stream “Design”. Within this category, the festival will feature projects for creating corporate identities and logos. It will also be possible to see projects in the style of typography and infographics
4) Stream “Photography”. This category assumes that digital photographs using computer effects on the theme “Surreal Symmetry” will be accepted for the exhibition.
It is planned that in the future the festival will become a platform for supporting and realizing young artists working in animation.
The first “Ideal Symmetry” opened on November 11, 2011 at the Revoлюция gallery. More than 400 people came to the festival opening, making this project one of the most well-attended for the gallery. As part of the festival, there was a competitive screening of animation clips by young authors, an exhibition of computer graphics, and a presentation of scientific developments by young innovators. Authors from Irkutsk, Sakhalin, Kursk, and Ryazan took part in the screening. In total, 13 animation clips with a total duration of about 30 minutes were presented to the audience. The festival also featured an exhibition of computer graphics and photography by young designers and photographers from the city of Irkutsk. In total, more than 20 works were presented.
The second digital art festival “Ideal Symmetry” will take place on December 12 at the Revolution Gallery at 40 Karl Marx St. It starts at 19:00.
