Annotations on 3 projects at the "Digit" exhibition: Art Value, Stratic, and Metaphone.
___________________________
Project "Art Value". The artist examines the value of art, digital ownership, and art economy. The project unfolds through the content of artwork, which is essentially created from the price of the same piece. If you wish to buy such a work, you have to pay its price, and that price is written in the artwork itself. Art Value is a manifold project, consisting of paintings, performances, films and the online platform ArtValue.org, where the project's artworks can be purchased in the NFT token form (NFTs, non-fungible tokens).
_______________________________
Stratic project. The author questions the possibilities of immersive experiences and emphasizes the relevance of the synesthetic phenomenon in visual art. By invoking digital and analog technical solutions, the sound and image are dynamically synchronized resulting in the visual narrative. It is an audio-visual project and a performance that conveys the phenomenon of a directly filmed RGB LED light bulb.
__________________________
Metaphone project. It is an interactive process based on computational models that allow machine to create artworks from participants’ data. The Metaphone consists of an interactive apparatus, painting technique and sound media used in versatile installation. The device acts as an electromechanical drawing and sound machine and creates works of art by interacting with the audience through sensors, engaging exhibition visitors in interactive play. In the context of this project, the artist questions the role of the author and asks fundamental questions of who the creator is: the artist, the generative machine that interactively created the piece, or the visitors who spontaneously feed the machine with their data input.
