“Uncertainty”. media project

Group exhibition

An important aspect of the new visuality is the combination of time and space in a single visual unit. The aspect of time is multidimensional – it can be personal, social, historical, the time of the event (its course, or the recording of its course) or the time of experiencing the event, etc.

The project presents various techniques and strategies for working with the media flow, which reflect on the social, historical, and personal manifestations of time, transforming them into art. Jonas Mekas’s works are recordings from TV news attempting to “master” the period of the USSR’s collapse. Andriy Boyarov’s video is a concealment of the media flow of the 2004 “Orange” Revolution. Other exhibition authors are directly connected with the issues of new visuality and media art, closely conveying the feeling of “uncertainty” through social, historical, or personal dimensions.
