Soon_

The most important factors in the Visible Area project, which co-create the installation, are time, space, and light. I wanted to take into account the dynamics of the Spectra building architecture at the location of the SOON_ project. The assembly of VA was also a time experiment for me, because it took over 24 hours. My wish was that the visible area made an impression of a digital image without the use of electronic carriers and with the direct participation of light.

Digitisation of communication leads to the lack of social involvement in commenting on current events. Netiquette and digital activism no longer model our attitudes to social and economic problems. Virtual profiles based on non-spaciousness and non-corporeality drive the society into a deep lack of empathy to a visible image, which directly affects the quality of real relations. The effect of the simultaneous maximisation of usage of the digital image surface is that people have no ideals.
