The project focuses on entropy: the disintegration and rebirth of cultural meanings in an era of visual overload and digital anonymity. Its goal is to analyse new forms of interaction with reality, where a person has stopped being the centre of the visual field, and classical artistic motifs are reinterpreted through the prism of technology.

Painting acts as a medium that captures the layering of eras. Canvases become interfaces where historical references (from ancient frescoes to Renaissance compositions) collide with digital algorithms — glitches, overlays, abstract deformations. This turns paintings into archaeological artefacts that document with paint not an image but the process of interaction between analogue and digital languages.

Objects made of “zero” building materials (expanded polystyrene, foam, duct tape, etc.) visualise the connection between the ephemeral and the anonymous. As data on the web, these materials are functionally invisible and temporary: Duct tape captures traces without identity, foam loses its shape like viral content, and mesh mimics the structure like filter algorithms. Their fragility (deformation, crumbling)reflects the transformation of identity in a system where gestures (glueing, wrapping) become more important than authorship, and objects become traces of collective experience.

Digital elements disrupt the static of material works, creating the effect of permanent variability. Reworked classic plots and generated patterns emphasise the fluidity of visual flows in the era of algorithmic interaction.

The method of reduction (simplification to a gesture, artefact, or trace) shifts the focus from anthropocentrism: the body is fragmented, the gaze is delegated to technology, and objects exist as autonomous phenomena. The deconstruction of classics is not a denial of tradition but its adaptation to a world where the human perspective is becoming part of a complex digital landscape.

The aim of the project is to capture the moment when painting turns into the archaeology of the medium. The interpenetration of eras is evident in the details: paint streaks refer to digital interventions, mounting foam interacts with digital casts, and historical motifs are recoded through the anonymity of data.
