Artist statement

As a media artist, I endow everyday things with new features that are alien to them. Using something that, it would seem, is not intended for artistic purposes, I change the meaning of the object. Applying the technologies of light, projection, AR / VR and machine learning, I immerse the viewer in the atmosphere when the stereotype of “expectation - reality” collapses, and then I study his reaction and emotions regarding new, changed “everyday” things.

I try to show and convey to people the various realities of the modern world, from large-scale and global environmental problems to the problems of human-human, human-machine relationships. In my opinion, the reflection of pressing problems through digital art will help humanity realize the full depth of what is happening and change the world around it.
