Fuse Sign. Hope

This artwork is part of the installation Fuse. Harmonic Interaction. The viewers actively participated in the project by changing signs into letters to find a word. In order to succeed, they needed to start a dialogue and collaborate with the other viewer.

A huge polarization of public opinion has been observed for a long time, and for the last few years, political views divide people who are very close to each other. In addition, there is a constant information noise that reaches us through the media and social networks, which us in information bubbles. There are mechanisms that I observe with concern also for myself – I have prejudices towards people with a different worldview and I don’t even want to talk to them. With my project, I would like to inspire cooperation and dialogue.

I have created the typographic signs based on points. I imagined an elastic, black fabric that has been stretched on a mechanical system of moving elements. Some of them hold the fabric while others limit the movement.
