Iillusional videosculpture with the rotation scructure under the surface of the stone. I found the inspiration in the center of our Earth where is the pith levitate separately. I try to show the emotion that the rock-bottom stand-alone like independent live structure.

New reality sometimes appears to be ephemeral. Illusion intertwines with reality. Information is now constantly being stored – deposited – in digital form for perpetuity. The principle of intangible digitalisation is also one that is most often employed in the transcription of this new reality. Active Sediment is a metaphor for my feelings and for what is happening around us. Just as information about an ancient event is recorded in a layer of rock, the digital reality of our era is ceaselessly being stored in some location. Everything we see, all that we come into contact with, is being passed on and has some kind of influence on the future. All that we emit bundles together to form a fertile layer, spawning further evolution. Thus for me even this apparently immaterial digital illusion constitutes a reality that is physically stored for eternity, as if in an active stratum. This is the sediment of our present era, of one stage of our superorganism’s natural development.
