For last several years I’ve been interested in consciousness, cognition, machine learning and AI. What fascinates me the most is how human’s consciousness adjusts itself during the perception of external world.
There are some mechanisms of such adjustments that I’m curious about above others. For instance, one of them is categorizing the information perceived into groups or “catalogues” which are then utilized to recognize new objects. Another one is false memories and circumstances under which those are being developed. Last but not least — perception mistakes that occur during object recognition or when consciousness alters different states.
The actual moment of object recognition I consider crucial in artistic act. Main creative question I’m trying to answer in my works is whether we able to discover something beyond known while interpreting familiar objects or is it gonna be always trapped within predetermined catalogues of memory?
For that purpose I often reproduce digital images by analogue means. This way I strive to melt several visual languages into a new one — being a metaphor to discovering the unknown.
