Social Discovery Ventures Exhibits Unique Combination of Art & Technology at Burning Man 2015
New York (PRWEB) August 24, 2015 -- Social Discovery Ventures, an international technology and software engineering company headquartered in New York, Moscow, and Hong Kong, has been awarded a grant to exhibit at Burning Man 2015. The company will be proudly introducing their art installation entitled OracleTang, which will be displayed in the Midway section of Burning Man. This robotic ape incorporates Artificial Intelligence technology and participatory art as a way of contributing to the Black Rock City community.
OracleTang was dreamed up by innovative entrepreneur and owner of Social Discovery Ventures, Dmitry Volkov, in collaboration with artist Oleg Kulik. They collaborated with a team of software engineers from Social Discovery Ventures and robotic engineers from RoboArmy to produce the animated chimpanzee. The ape will interact with passerby by observing his visitors, reacting to their behavior and responding to their gestures or words.
“OracleTang represents the connection between the natural world and modern society, and reflects the place held by Mother Nature in our civilization,” said Volkov. “Burning Man embodies the spirit of art, innovation and radical self-expression, and we at Social Discovery Ventures are excited to make our own artistic contribution to help transform the landscape of the festival.”
Burning Man will take place in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, from August 30, 2015 to September 7, 2015. For more information, visit http://www.SDVentures.com/.

About Burning Man
Burning Man is a week-long annual event that began in San Francisco’s Baker Beach in 1986 and migrated to the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada. The event begins on the last Monday in August, and ends on the first Monday in September, which coincides with the American Labor Day holiday. It takes its name from the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy, which is set alight on Saturday evening. Burning Man is organized by Black Rock City, LLC and has been running since 1986.
