About fifty thousand living creatures around the globe, including whales, leopards, flamingos, bats and snails, are equipped with digital tracking devices, and tablets with applications for dolphins are already a reality. In my research I'm interested in the concept of "animal internet" (coined by German philosopher and writer Alexander Pachera) to speculate on the issues of redefining the place of human in contemporary anthropocentric world, building new connections with nature, animals, plants and other non-human creatures.

Based on my previous research I’d like to stage a show of international artists working with this topic and develop Yūgen App (for iOs and Android) which will provide new form of collective art project consisting of dozens daily instructions and exercises on how to reconnect with nature from the international artists focused on the investigation new shifts in the human’s perception of nature (specifically, after COVID-19 pandemics). The instructions will be accompanied with specifically created art commissions in Augmented Reality and will question the new sustainable models of exhibition making based on immaterial production and stimulating instruction-based art and AR technology. The title of the app refers to the important concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics which suggests that which is beyond what can be said, but it is not an allusion to another world. It is about this world, this experience.
