Residencies and presentations of Aristarkh Chernyshev and Sergey Teterin are organised by Residencies and Information Centre (RIC) for Artists in Riga (http://www.arthome.lv) in collaboration with RIXC - Centre for New Media Culture (http://www.rixc.lv).

The development of Artists-in-Residence (AIR) program is based on collaboration between the inovative local and international art organizations and artists. AIR aims to contribute to creative development in many fields of art through providing social and cultural platform for work. The AIR program enables artists and arts scholars to work on individual and collaboration projects. Artists are welcome to apply and are encouraged to develop cooperative projects with local artists and arts institutions as part of their residency project.

RIXC is the joint effort of a number of independent local cultural groups working in the fields of new media, art, film, music, youth culture and the social projects. The aim of the centre is to bridge the traditional gap between 'high' and popular culture and the divisions between various youth, sub- and minority cultures. The RIXC intends to become a meeting place for different types of culture on local and international scale.

RIXC is the member of NICE network (Nordic-Baltic-North-East European network for small scale innovative initiatives in the field of new media culture (http://nice.x-i.net), and takes part in other international and cross disciplinary networks, co-projects and mailing-lists in the field of new media culture in Europe, Canada and other parts of the world.
