SVIATOVID - Chinese Garden

Digital version of the 3D projected sculpture, SVIATOVID. The new projection-mapped sculpture, Sviatovid, is inspired by both a ninth-century Slavic deity, and a medieval sculpture of the same name, Sviatovid is a fifteen-foot-tall faceted totem. The history of the deity and medieval statue of Sviatovid is the subject of debate among historians, but Bart Kresa took inspiration from the all-seeing nature of the figure. With four faces, Sviatovid was not omniscient, but could literally take in the world in an all-encompassing way. Bart Kresa and his design team designed a library of interactive animations to be a reflection of Sviatovid’s distinct perspective and journey. Sviatovid premiered at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) Amsterdam in February 2019. ISE is the largest AV and systems integration show in the world. Stationed at the entrance to the RAI convention center, Sviatovid greeted approximately 100,000 ISE attendees. Following the world premiere, Sviatovid traveled to Lublin, Poland, for an exhibition at the Centrum Spotkania Kultur (The Centre for the Meeting of Cultures).
