Artist Statement

In my artistic practice, I explore the boundaries of the real and virtual, analog and digital, past and present, living and non-living. 

Digital and analog are methods of representing and encoding the surrounding reality. This is manifested both in the symbolic connection of analog and digital media, and in their conceptual relationship. Based on theories of media archaeology and understanding of media culture in the context of all times, I explore ways of transmission and storage of information, linking different time layers together and explaining them through one another.

I carry out the process of limitation, exclusion, and selection of fragments of reality based on my personal experience and questioning the reliability of information obtained from other sources in the conditions of post-truth and the spread of Deepfake technologies. The resulting objects I integrate into a common interface, forming a coherent meta-message for interaction with the viewer. This system of objects essentially has no beginning, end, or any hierarchy, as it is only part of a whole rhizomatic hypertext, the evolution of which is infinite.

The potential vulnerability of the interpreted object leads it to the form of opera aperta. Such an object will never be fully assembled, installed, defined while it exists in the form of art — that is, as long as it is perceived and endowed with numerous meanings. Various mediums, which in my works refer to a number of information carriers of the pre-digital and digital era, act as tools for encoding the message. In my hypertext space, the virtual permanently interacts with the real, and the past with the present, like a person who oscillates between analog (real) and digital (virtual) spaces.
