ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The multimedia triptych "Melancholy of data" touches on the theme of anxiety of modern man, which the artist considers to be the true human condition, the result of constantly deciding on the performance of identity. The audience becomes part of the circulation of data, using the method of cybernetic existentialism, which implies a constant interweaving of the culture of the algorithm with the anxiety of modern people. The video, which is surrounded by side-mounted images, contains a series of information about the author. The data is exchanged quickly and is constantly lined up in the form of manipulated objects of the body, face, speech and other elements of the performance of human personality, creating the impression of a personalized social network for the audience and reminding them, according to the author, of stories, internet search results, deep fake photos, artificially constituted personal memories or the materialization of rumors and prejudices. The side images represent time by emphasizing the fluidity of the displayed data on the central video, and with their technique they confirm the fixity of time, creating a nostalgic atmosphere of the human search for an ideal reality.
