Exhibition "Iterative Ü"
(November 18, 2021).
Iterative Ü is a philosophical multilevel project dedicated to the mythology of the invention of a renewed human form in digital reality.

Ü is the letter-inception. Many German words for transition
(der Übergang, die Überleitung), begin with it.
The idea of trichotomy, the unity, the impossibility of one without the other, includes at its core a transition both internal and external, which can be traced in the German philosophy of Kant and Hegel.

The exhibition is a three-channel video by the Kazan artist Liya Safina and a two-channel ambient by the St. Petersburg media artist Danila Logvinenko.

  1. "Ü - Body." Images of bodies flow one into the other in an attempt to maintain a recognizable face.
  2. "Ü - Mind." Images of military hardware are used, as if the mind is dangerous and we should keep this in mind even outside of physical reality.
  3. "Ü - Spirit". A pulsation spreading out across the screen. This "jolt of thought" seems unnecessary, but without this light, life is impossible.

Position: Curator, technical manager.

Job duties: Creating the concept, writing the texts, the selection of works, site selection, planning and coordinating the installation, setting up the equipment.
