About The Artwork
The text you see on Medusa XXI’s canvas was taken from real newsfeeds of BBC, CNN and other major media. The series is limited to a total of 21 artworks, and in every new copy of Medusa XXI the newsfeed will reflect an actual agenda. In such a way each of 21 copies will be a time capsule. The material used in the area of Medusa’s eyes is Black Mirror. This element is used in each artwork of The Epoch series (David XXI, Zeus XXI, Atlas XXI, Medusa XXI, Demeter XXI and Afrodita XXI). Black Mirror is a reference to smartphones’ and other gadgets’ black screens. Yellow is a classic emoji color. Our goal was to find a combination of color and material that would be appealing and evoke associations with a state of addiction or seductiveness. After a long search and a number of experiments we chose flock – a special fabric that consists of thousand of tiny spines forming a soft surface. Flock surfaces are visually compelling and tempting to touch. Introducing a flock element was meant to build a visual and tactile communication between a beholder and the artwork. Medusa XXI has a yellow visual element, embodied in 3D pixels, Gorgon’s integrated serpentine hair. This artwork also features a new material – a wire coated in black flock. MEDUSA XXI The Epoch series 2021 Oak veneer, birch plywood, mirror fragment, art frame, acrylic paint 112*112 cm (43*43 ") This physical work of art is limited to 21 copies. Each work is created from scratch and may differ from the photos

The art studio was created by Andrey and Alexey Kulibin in 2020. Experimenting with various techniques, materials and forms, connecting the digital world with the physical, we have found unique artistic solutions that can draw attention to a number of topical issues. EXPLORING TOPICS The studio explores the topic of social transformation in a modern technological world, where a Human’s attention got the status of a commodity. Well-known corporations honed the skill of drawing and selling users' attention to advertisers. Technologies of maintaining attention of those in front of the screen are getting smarter every year, because there are hundreds of smart guys working (for good salaries) on the back end, and they do what their corporation's business model tells them. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest… All these giants share a common goal – financial enrichment. Attention mining is incredibly profitable. Polarization of society, fake news, ignorance, digital addiction, elections hacking- consequences of the influence of the policy of digital giants on the life of modern humanity. The inspiration to work on this topic came from the research of Dr. Andrey Kurpatov, as well as from the American director Jeff Orlowski with his feature films "The Social Dilemma", "Chasing Ice" and "Chasing Coral". TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS Research on the properties of industrial materials over the past 2 years has led to the usage of a wide variety of techniques and forms. Due to the complexity of the art object, we managed to enhance the overall perception of the content and engage the viewer in a kind of dialogue.
