Without borders: concerts, opera and festivals online

In this episode of the ongoing Culture Online digest we get acquainted with online music projects and watch an interview with production director Dmitry Otyakovsky — one of the main activists of digital opera in Russia. Dmitry’s projects involve many digital formats and discoveries: for example, in one of his first works, the Glossary 2.0 opera, the main role was played by Google Translate, and libretto was written by a neuronet.

Video shows the following projects:

• Svoboda Zvuka, by Vasily Konstantinovsky and Andrey Popesku;
