Digital technologies offer artists and designers a new world of possibilities. Their innovative and often interactive product using the latest software, animation and other technologies interact with the environment to enliven contemporary art. Some of the products modified by internal processes, while others - depending on the behavior of visitors. Among the works included in the project, a screen, drawing portraits of visitors from the snow, and an interactive tree, bending with the wind from the street. Technically, the range of what is to be seen by visitors, stretching from work, off to the most basic principles of programming (the zeros and units, driven into one person), to art created by global creative teams on the Internet, and many exhibits are challenging the established categories of design. They blur the boundaries between artistic and technical disciplines, between programming and performance, between the creators and actors.

Exhibition «Decode» refers to the three current topics in digital design. Subject computer code, as written under the order, and cracked and free, drew attention to the fact that programming has become a new tool design. Interactivity focuses on the work of responding to our physical presence. Theme Network denotes or represents a new interpretation of the traces of interaction that we reserve the age of electronic communication.

Under the heading "Code" will feature the works in which computer language is used as a the same material as stone or metal sculpture. This section of the exhibition will show how programming is used to create flexible, constantly changing facilities.

In the second section, "Interactivity" will work for direct interaction with the audience. Visitors will be able to participate in the simulation works, many of which raise questions about where to draw the line between design and performance.

This part of the exhibition is drawn to new opportunities for self-expression that emerged with the advent of the Internet and modern technology. Designers are rethinking these information flows, and give them a dramatic art form.
