The video Bodyfraction parallels microscopic images of fragments of the artist’s body (tooth enamel, skin, nails, hair etc.) with recordings of drawings and light-sensitive objects created on their basis. Drawings were digitally processed towards simulating the chemical process called 'reaction diffusion' which models (mathematically or visually) the behaviour of two chemicals in a solution as they mix. Such animated drawings form fractal-like patterns and together with modified recordings of reflective light-works surfaces, they create an entry into imaginary hidden topography (macro, micro or nano dimensions) in motion.
The title refers to the motif (body) and the processing method (microscopic diffraction) through which the microscopic pictures were treated. Relief surfaces of pictures and drawings were derived from digitally modified microscopic views of bodily fragments that were essentially transfigured through the digital process of inverse fast Fourier transformation (IFFT); this represented the first in a series of digital procedures directed towards their denaturalisation.

The video combines medical recordings of the brain and computer manipulation of those images. This animated image becomes symmetrical and dehumanized. We get a completely abstract arena, which reminds us of outer space. The author's cerebral area becomes...

Patterns made by etching plastic surface reflect light onto the gallery walls. The diverse architecture of an ex sacral space is completely deconstructed with the movement of the light reflections. The two-dimensional surface is creating a three-dimension...

Video has a simple concept, as it works like a primitive animation based on magnetism. The presence of some higher power is actualized indirectly, through a movement of small iron particles. Shapes that are formed by the movement of an invisible magnet ar...

The incubator is an interactive audio-visual installation that represents a self-sustained, circularly arranged dynamic system that translates tactile signals into audio and visual events. A viewer strolling through a completely darkened space is randomly...
