In the ‘To-do list’ project, Nadezhda experiments with the “VR space as an art object” format. This is a variation on installation, created entirely in digital form and therefore allows the viewer to exist in it differently than in the physical world. What people experience in a physical space is a mental construct. And the digital space in this context is a continuation of the mental space. What, can the environment of their thoughts and experience — turned into a virtual place — tell us about the experience of another? Is it possible to find a way to communicate with another in the space of one’s perception of reality? 

 

The project mixes the physical with the mental and sensory experience, creating a tangled digital architecture that the viewer can immerse themselves in with VR equipment and try to step into the artist’s shoes, in her experience.
