Authors / projects
PRINT EG-01
A device reminiscent of an ’80s printer hides an innovative core: a speech recognition system that allows interaction with the collective unconscious, delivering answers to your questions printed on an endless roll of paper.

SANCTUM
SANCTUM explores a new phase of human interaction with oneself and the environment in a multilayered digital reality. Through AR technologies, the cold digital space comes alive, filled with human presence in real time. The viewer becomes both an observer and a participant, entering a mystical enfilade recursion.
Stepan Tereshchenko
DOM
A computer game-exhibition immersing the viewer in a world of recurring dreams. Each level starts with a realistic recreation of rooms but gradually transforms into surreal landscapes filled with subconscious imagery. Will liberation become the game’s final goal?
Anna Shmykova
Inside Out
A bathtub — a space for cleansing and self-dialogue, where a person sheds their social shell. Here, interaction with the mysterious “R” matter is born, woven from deep memory, suppressed desires, and fantasies, like a living substance of the past.
Sofya Melikova
Ego Transformer
A special space, a room within a room, serves an intimate function: making independent changes to one’s ego. All desired changes are anonymously recorded in a shared visible field.
Marina Yarosh
Lost Eyes
The installation symbolizes internal turmoil and chaos, reflecting unstable aspects of life. Eyes create an illusion of observation, amplifying the sense of losing control. The work embodies moments when one feels lost or without direction.

TypeError: “life” is not a function
An interactive game where exhibition visitors make decisions that shape a fictional character. Every decision influences the character’s personality and illustrates how random events or our choices shape ego and life.
Olesya Chernyavskaya
Psychomachia
An experimental photo project and interactive installation exploring the language for discussing the soul. Concrete as a symbol of monumentality and the author’s imprint reveals the relationships between individualities.

I Dreamt I Was Looking at Myself in the Mirror, and I Wasn’t Me
Looking in the mirror, you expect to see yourself—a familiar, clear image. In this mirror, you are still you, but existing in another paradigm. The same familiar features are reinterpreted through AI technologies—a kind of simulacrum variation. The work delves into self-perception through appearance and its features.
