Landscape 2.0

2021

In the modern world, military conflicts represented online are transformed and acquire new angles of perception. As in the days of the Roman Coliseum, when viewers showed a thumbs up or down, now we like videos and photos, when we watch the present through TV, YouTube or Telegram channels, military actions appear as a distant picture. Everything is mixed with advertising, recommendations and blogs, and in our memory they are represented as unclear disappearing spots.

Work on the project began at a time when videos from drones began to appear on YouTube in large quantities, which recorded infrared videos of The project was launched when videos from drones recording infrared videos during the last Karabakh war began appearing on YouTube in large quantities. The videos were like flowers opening, blooming in an instant and then falling down.

The still frame was processed by me so that the military component of the picture was completely leveled and turned into abstract graphics. That is, it repeated the action that happens to our memory when viewing frames broadcast on the Internet or TV.

The epigraph to the project is a poem by Robert Burns “My heart`s in the Highlands”
