About project
This monumental audiovisual object was inspired by the machines of Leonardo da Vinci, shifted into a vision of our society’s imminent directions. This transforming videopainting recalls impressionist paintings, with subliminal structures that reflect the duality of our modern era – both beautiful and bizarre.
The calmer, more natural phase of the animation sometimes betrays its second civilizational face, a product of modern society. Will we stop trusting it as a result? We often don’t know how to view our own innovations and rapid social progress. Can progress become a natural part of our evolution, a second nature that is influenced by our behavior and achievements, or will it lead to our ruin? Is there any point in trying to stop that progress?
“dron~list” shows the tenuous border of our fluctuation within an integrated supercomplex. It represents what we blindly believe and what we are always apprehensively polemicizing.
