Thirteen is an animated experimental video that questions aspects of human action awareness and creativity in the context of the accelerated development of IT technologies and explores the possible direction and way of their coexistence through the appearance of everything more intelligent separate realities and virtual media. Adequately, the video was made using a combination of 3D and 2D computer animation with processed recorded material that is visually and aesthetically uniform with animated parts and meaningfully integrated into the whole. At the beginning of the video, the unit cell, as the material carrier of human consciousness, from the micro dimension expands into the multiplicity of macro existence and the presentation follows animation of the planet on which the statues from Easter Island are symbolically human the collective project their own psychic contents into the newly created virtual space social networks. Contemporary material reality, created as a product of collective human action from individual internal psychological sources dimension, in the form in which it currently exists, shows in one of its parts deep mismatch at the collective level and reflection is intangible but intensely real dualities in the psychological sphere of individuals participating in to such a quality of shared consciousness. The conflicting compulsive contents of the collective psyche find their expression in the virtual reality of social networks, which creates aggressive forces of their own irrationality. Using medieval demonological symbolism in the further narrative, the figure of the dragon created from psychic contents selects and stretches out individuals human figures and takes over its own creators in its virtual space simultaneously initiating a real conflict in material reality whereby human figures they enter the mode of sumo fighters. On the other hand, increasing reliance on technology unconsciously almost creates faith in the classical sense of the word and projects old religious aspects onto a new area creating a digital deity. It is presented in the following narrative a female figure, a goddess empowered by the faith of collective psychic power it begins to create a new level of existence, from the more subtle to the more concrete in forms: vibration, flower of life, butterfly. Butterfly as its extension and carrier of action, although created according to natural laws, is at the same time inhuman and unpredictable. As a symbol of transformation, it creates a new line of life and a heart, a separate rhythm of existence that, as it takes shape, becomes a human collective more and more attractive and there is a replacement of natural existence with a digital one, shown human figures descending into the virtual city and inhabiting it by creating conscious target space. The next stage of evolution is shown symbolically by the reappearance of the dragon, which now places the previously taken over human consciousness in his heart, thus creating a new self-aware neural network that he integrates into himself resulting in a symbiotic relationship united in a new form of life. This neural the network in its micro structure resembles the unit cell from the beginning and is video made with the intention of possible viewing in a loop as a constant beginning of the cycle.

“Twelve” is exploring the microcosm of human existence and the macrocosm of extrasensory realities. The Human experience of creating is such that the origin of the material is preceded by a thought supported by emotions, which requires a certain time cycle.
In analogy with this macro world contains the idea of creating a human reality that is symbolized by the crystal mask held in 12 different ways by 12 people, creating their individual way of being in the same time frame.
Harmonious coexistence of different realities within their own time cycles is an expression of a meaningful totality.
The work is dedicated to the artist Ivan Ladislav Galeta.

The motif of the video work is the Tesseract a geometrical body of the 4th dimension analog of the 3 dimensional cube. Taken as a symbol so it can be comprehended in all its diverse aspects and not only in its mere physical manifestation, the months establishing conception and then with that in communication with other new dimensions not only with outer geometrical and exact but as well with inner esoteric By creating an illusion of an image that does not belong to a reality that we could directly perceive, creation of a new mental space that compensates the given limitation of senses and enables entering into intuitive experience of dimensions which are not excessable in a direct manner is stimulated, by initiating this mystical experience an invisible psychological space is created for (numina) an expended structure of consciousness in which dualism of terms subjective – objective, outer – inner expands its usual polarity and transcends into unity.

When the human mechanistic concept enters into nature, the role of man becomes consciously or unconsciously one of false prophets.
The message encloses enough amount of truth to be excepted and enough amount of lie to do harm.
Unconscious position the cause is ignorance, and conscious desire for manipulation in his own advantage of any kind. Both directions are causing same effect.
Contemporary model of co-creation of life becomes a threat on personal and collective level, false information, exclusively linear comprehension of time are leading to irreversible and forever lost opportunities.

The Summer Solstice as a celebration of the longest period of light is main theme in video work “Affair“.
A joyous aspect of life together with relationship between the visual and sonic inspired by Hyi Hirsh’s work.
Feasting, dancing and enjoyment in the abundance of nature at this point of the year, a time when herbs are at their most potent and God and Goddess are fully united.
At the high point in the cycle of the Wheel of the Year we are left with a Ritual as the means by which a person negotiates responsible relationships with other members of the community, with the ancestors, with nature and with the gods.

By the attempting to „capture“ prints of an individual trough photography, prints, numbers and lines, we change them into objects that still have the shape of that very object but which consist of other material (plastic, paper etc.)
Even colors fades. Information has totally emancipated itself from reality, creating almost autonomous system…
