Description: Media installation
The Speed of Disappearance video is a reflection on disappearance of tangible forms and their transformation into a digital stream of reality images, where colour can be transformed and adjusted until it disappears completely.
It deals with a seamless transition into a new space where virtual forms unite with real forms more and more. It deals with a speed of the change of traditional ways of transmitting and storing information, and also with a new communication among people.
It deals with time, its flow, and impossibility “to step in the same river twice” in the real world (and with getting over time barriers in a virtual one). It deals with the speed of transmission of images, freedom of the relativity of our world and its instability.
