As part of the Factory Night festival, dreamlaser will create site-specific media installations at three industrial locations: art space of the Raketa Watch Factory, Big Ivanovo Manufactory and Chekhov Power Engineering Plant.

The event programme of the festival will be curated by the team of the New Media Laboratory of the Alexandrinsky Theater’s New Stage. The project explores the use of modern technologies in theater and will stage promenade performances for other participants.

In 2023, the Factory Night Festival will take place on August 12, switching to offline the online campaign held in 2020 by the team of the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art. This year, the team at ZA ART Center for Support and Development of Contemporary Art continues to work on the preservation, archiving, museumification and update of Russian industrial heritage, growing an online campaign to the scale of a festival that will be held simultaneously at 18 industrial facilities.
