2014 | Kyiv | interactive installation

The project works with idea of renewal and game-changing paradigms between art and politics, human and system by pushing the first one for a direct action, rethinking and reconsidering two-side-influence field itself. Conception fitted to interaction method, where the glitch becomes not a regular error but significant victory over the system at all. Individuals are at one place, at one time united by one aim are able to destroy the system. Big Brother is tracking you down, you make him glitching. But is the human mind trafficking over?


The installation operates with digital and social factor real-time processing for interpreting movement data in conceptual point of view. The projection zone is the visible field of global scene relationship between human and political system. The Social Factor examines the behavior of individual before, during, and after the installation experience. The red dot moving with the visitor, the eye is following the person till the moment when more then 5 members involved in projection zone. This fact creates disturbance in a system by making it glitching.


Big Brother is shaking, miscalculated, the system is failed. The only thing is the ability to recover. Orwell '1984'. Dystopia?


The concept goes through the events in Ukraine during Euromaidan 2014.
