This Saturday, the ancient city of our country, Derbent, will host the “Narma” contemporary art festival – this is an opportunity to look at iconic places in a new way through the prism of modern art and technology. One of the organizers of the event was the “Silno” art residence, its founder, artist Maxim Silenkov, specially for BURO. He created five works – answers to rapid questions.
Maxim Silenkov is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, engineer, educator and expert in the field of Art and Science. Founder of the SENSE art group and the Silno (Derbent) residency, head of the Functional and Ergonomic Prototyping Laboratory. Curator of the UX/UI Product Design course at the British Higher School of Design (2015-2021).

The opportunity to create value, to engage in research and development, the special mentality of the local residents, the added bonus of healthy, tasty and varied food (smiles).
We are building a space where people can learn and create. Key principles: openness, sharing of experiences, hands-on work and the opportunity to go through the whole process, from generating ideas to implementing them yourself under the mentorship of the residency team, invited experts and other participants.

Technologies that allow preserving and reinterpreting traditions. Traditions and technologies.
A rich experience and a rich culture that reads like an open book. Dagestan, and specifically Derbent, is definitely one of those places.
