20th of July 2002 - we just ended Internet summer
school and created collective hypertext about several Russian
villages.You can check it out on www.iatp.nnov.ru
- in Russian only :(
I am a PhD, the Head of Laboratory
and regional alumni coordinator. My research interests extend
to on-line community education and philosophy of education.
I coordinate a lot of educational
projects in different fields of knowledge. Together with psychologists
I co-developed repweb.botik.ru - interactive web-server designed
to help students and artists make explicit their patterns of
thought. The main concept of our web site was based on Kelly's
psychology regarding the man anticipating the world as a "personal
scientist". This psychology offers the opportunity to integrate
different approaches of knowledge representation and different
psychological techniques we used in our work on Constructive
Web Site where students played the role of researchers. Together
with the media artist Gilles Morel and curator Tatyana Moguilevskaya
we created "Vent d'Est Web site," the objective of
which was to develop a digital archive of Russian video-art and
new-media-art. In 1997 - 2000 I coordinated common research on
information exchange and telecommunication stage production via
the Internet, network art actions. between the Program Systems
Institute and CYPRES (France).
You can read more about my work and interest in my formal resume.
Starting work as biologist and
microbiologist I continued my professional growth in the field
of computer science and computer education and became the head
of a Laboratory in the Program Systems Institute of the Russian
Academy of Science. I work in different OS - DOS, Windows, Linux
and use different programming languages - Logo, Java-Script,
Perl. I have worked with Lego-Logo constructors, video, audio
and digital photography and have a good experience in using them.
I am a good chess and Go player and it helps me to look at the
Internet field from different points of view.
Since 1986 my work has been strongly
influenced by the Seymour Papert's idea of constructive learning.
We designed and tested different Logo microworlds.
My daughter Ann likes to play with
turtles and our Scotch terrier Seymour :)
