Anton Vidokle
-
Anton Vidokle is an artist and co-founder of e-flux magazine. Working primarily in film, Vidokle’s current practice focuses on Russian Cosmism, a school of thought developed by the Russian librarian Nikolai Fedorov (1828–1903) that tried to unite science, technology, religion, and art, and heavily influenced Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Lev Tolstoy, Kasimir Malevich, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, and Leon Trotsky, among many others. Along with the critic and philosopher Boris Groys, Vidokle’s work with this repressed (by USSR) and buried philosophy has revised the historical record; its revival has become influential to contemporary artists working today, particularly in the Slavic sphere.
