Confusion

Views: 1159
An interactive symbolic work consisting of a wire brain construction is presented. By interlacing it with metal wire, a good conductor of electricity, emphasis is placed on the function of the brain as a neural network, where thousands of neuronal synapses take place. The human body produces electricity, the brain's electrical chemical signals, light is memory and darkness is forgetting. The gradual decrease in the intensity of light produced in the facility, as regulated by the dimmer, symbolizes the gradual decline of the cognitive functions of the human brain. As it increases, it causes shadows on the paper, sudden flashes of automatic recollection of past experiences. Photography is the imprint on a material medium of an event in the external world, but the motive behind it is man's need to keep the experienced emotion alive.

A day in my mother's life. The documentary shows her daily routine, something that I personally find very interesting as I believe that the true self of a person lies in the "insignificant".

Moments that meet and compose new ones through clips of a few seconds. Their common point is the associative thinking during their creation and the sense of the surrealistic-dreamlike mood.

Views: 1859

BRAINRINTH is a multi-channel video installation. The work attempts – through technology – to approach brain-related functions of memory, drawing on material from personal experience of the body in crisis. The title BRAINRINTH –from the words Brain and Labyrinth – is a play on the intractable riddle of an archetypal Greek structure (the labyrinth) and the labyrinthine processes of the human brain. The BRAINRINTH installation seeks a poetic mapping of the human brain.
Due to the shock of trauma, our understanding of the functioning of the body, and of nature itself –which we are trying to dominate – seems desperate and full of anxiety. Taking this into account, if we adopt a position in which we keep a distance of aesthetic neutrality, perhaps this reality begins to look less frightening.

EX-SITU [existing situations]. Destruction as an social-artistic practice.
Views: 2054

EX-SITU[existing situations] is an interactive installation that incorporates a computer, sound, and lighting technologies in which users/ viewers take part in the destruction of the painting by stepping on it. At the same time, a motion tracking system marks visitors and a light spot tracks them.​
The content of EX SITU calls for awareness of social indifference, self-promotion, and their impact on society. The structure of EX SITU is intentionally ambiguous, revealing the obsession/fascination for the protection of material in contrast with the empathy for other people.
The interactive installation underlines the responsibility of individuals in society. The theoretical part analyses the Destruction in Art Symposium in 1966 and The bystander effect, or bystander apathy, in which individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when other people are present.
