About the project
A basis of the interactive audio-visual installation is a random set of various technological and scientific discoveries that provide alternative production, organization, and development. Environmental solutions call for systematic change, sadly slowed down by catastrophic narratives. Environmental crisis, and the crisis of humanity as consequence, are being strengthened by particularization with no coherent vision. Responsibility becomes individual but lack to participate in structural arrangement fortifies person’s anxiety. There is a strong need for comprehensive reflection of the world that we have been trying so hard to possess through centuries. 
Through mapping of solutions in the late capitalism, the installation creates a conceptual map of possible dealing with environmental dogmatism and encourages imaginative thinking about an alternative future 
Who are we who created the environmental crisis? 
Who are we who feel it?
Whose world is it coming to an end?
