EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT

For this installation I created artificial landscape to try to address the moment and period of time in which we live in : the Anthropocene.
This new age is characterized by globalization, technology development, global pandemics, global warming, significant geopolitical turbulences… we live in a time of unpredictable future, and in the global system of communication, reporting and media, it is a special challenge to get to the truth. The question arises as to what the term actually represents.
The concept of the Anthropocene suggests that the human species is a new (geological) force that is changing the planet beyond recognition. This new world in which artificial intelligence is developing, changes all aspects of human functioning. The question is: Does it make it easier or harder?
Naturally the theory of evolution is rooted in both living and artificial world. In my works, I try to show this development: I start with a drawing, and I arrive at a mutually dependent spatial unity of kinetic objects that interact with their environment. These objects are programed to live their own digital life, which is still, for now, dependent on the observer.
A special topic on which I concentrate is the notion of artificiality in the contemporary world and the relationship between the artificial and natural in relation to a human. Is this new, artificial world, full of limitations and threats for us, or is what we create for ourselves something that will make our lives easier in the future, is one of the questions that intrigue me the most.
