Visual noise… persuasive, insuperable, glairy and sticky, it inhausts into its interior. It has no structure, no priorities; the relativism spirit dominates there. The endless line of images replacing each other in a chaotic round, the uncontrollable information streams influencing consciousness of a modern man by various mass media. They form new archetypes of collective uncondiciousness, which shortly becomes identical to the stream.

 Mechanically, man has collapsed behind the horizon of events into a flashy hole that is called television. And now, the images stuck in the subconsciousness are updating in the surrounding world.

Marshall McLuhan's prophecy has come true and become reality: “In the television, images are projected on you. You are the screen. Images are enveloping you. You are the vanishing point.”

 And in this point, it is already difficult to distinguish between who is the screen, whether the mankind reflects the world filled in with the television images, or the television just fixes the mankind condition and projects it on the screen. It is the ill infinity created by a great number of mirrors reflecting each other; in this infinity, you cannot see the first reflected object any longer.

Dina Schedrinskaya’s exposition comprises images and scenes divorced from the numerous television programs. The author simulates the world perception and, simultaneously, creates it again, since she immerses the spectator into the space of noise repeatedly, but now created by her.

On the one hand, she fixes this twist of cultural development and, hence, makes to wonder; on the other hand, she turns it into an aesthetic object, showing that there is not a place where it would be possible to hide away from this compulsive perception expansion.

               Exhibition will be held on November 28 – January 15
