Sergey Poydo

Biography

He participates in the promo-group Idle Conversation.

He was involved in launching the Russian version of the magazine Dazed & Confused.

In 2009, he became Editorial Director of the site Look At Me. He participated in launching the local internet newspaper The Village, and headed it until June of 2011.

The Village now plays an active role in creating an urban environment fit for a comfortable life. The editorial staff of The Village launched Project “Perestroika” (Reconstruction), where invited architects proposed projects to change public areas, and designers proposed their own version of a Moscow logo.

The Village has implemented projects such as the installation of bicycle parking on city streets, which resulted in an Internet community for promoting cycling in Moscow, and the Death Revealer application for the iPhone, which applies icons to actual images of Moscow. These icons show the places where automobile accidents have occurred, in the hopes that residents will be more careful.

He also worked on the Gorky Park renovation project, acting as the Media Director of the Strelka Institute.
