We are, if anything, creatures of habbits.
We are drawn towards convergence.
Drawn to the safety and comfort of what is familiar.
We are drawn to enlightenment.
Ears are filled with a high-pitched noise. It feels as if our bones are corroding.
The Code has become flesh, light no longer descends from heaven.
Beneath our very skin. Digital shards have driven themselves deep into the core, piercing veins and casting the imprint in our bodily fluids.
The greasy stain on the cold glass is no longer just a trace of touch. It is our monument. Both a portal and an abyss.
So what remains of humanity when the light goes out?
AUTHORS:
Jan Vitha – EDGE
Hacked the Polaroid Lab‘s seamless bridge between smartphone culture and analog film. Intervened with a physical glass shard and darkroom light, infringing on its rules. This retraced technological residue leaves a raw material footprint
– a new horizon, blurred in the distance.
Digital print 100×100cm
Kristína Kiliková – VOID – the presence of absence
Reality defined by constant accumulation, where signals overlap and meaning dissolves into noise in which everything and nothing coexist. What remains is neither a complete image nor a total disappearance, but a fragile threshold between presence and erasure. The persistence of something that can no longer be fully perceived. Void is an attempt to capture the presence of absence – to attend to what remains when the visible recedes, and to the silence that emerges not outside the noise, but from within it.
Digital print 70×50cm
Kristína Kordiaková – Refraction / Dispersion
White Noise as Absolute Plenitude. White noise is a monolith in which all frequencies sound at once, compressed into
a single white beam. Where signals accumulate into a continuous background, it is the optical image of information saturation. Refraction is the first collision. Handmade objects of blood and urine disrupt the integrity of white light. Bodily fluids here are not merely material, but proof that the code has become flesh. Light no longer descends from above, but settles beneath the skin. The beam strikes an obstacle, slows down, and changes direction within a geometry of reflections and distortions. Dispersion is the moment of release, in which the monolith breaks down into its elemental components. Static noise reveals the hidden anatomy of chromatic structures, the transformation of chaos into spectrum.
Digital print 50×50 cm, Objects 7×7×3,5cm
Martin Matula – 0,3mm
The smartphone interface is not perceived as a portal to hyperreality, but as a physical site where human presence accumulates, based on the performative trace of mindless scrolling and constant contact with the surface of the screen. A layer of chalk dust acts as a catalyst that materialises this ephemeral microtopography and transforms it into an autonomous texture. The resulting scan of the device reveals the moment when digital content is swallowed up by its own surface. The original meaning fades away, replaced by pure visual white noise as a testament to our own digital fatigue.

Dispersion is the moment of release, in which the monolith breaks down into its elemental components. Static noise reveals the hidden anatomy of chromatic structures, the transformation of chaos into spectrum.

The smartphone interface is not perceived as a portal to hyperreality, but as a physical site where human presence accumulates, based on the performative trace of mindless scrolling and constant contact with the surface of the screen. A layer of chalk dust acts as a catalyst that materialises this ephemeral microtopography and transforms it into an autonomous texture. The resulting scan of the device reveals the moment when digital content is swallowed up by its own surface. The original meaning fades away, replaced by pure visual white noise as a testament to our own digital fatigue.

We are, if anything, creatures of habbits.
We are drawn towards convergence.
Drawn to the safety and comfort of what is familiar.
We are drawn to enlightenment.
Ears are filled with a high-pitched noise. It feels as if our bones are corroding.
The Code has become flesh, light no longer descends from heaven.
Beneath our very skin. Digital shards have driven themselves deep into the core, piercing veins and casting the imprint in our bodily fluids.
The greasy stain on the cold glass is no longer just a trace of touch. It is our monument. Both a portal and an abyss.
So what remains of humanity when the light goes out?
AUTHORS:
Jan Vitha – EDGE
Hacked the Polaroid Lab‘s seamless bridge between smartphone culture and analog film. Intervened with a physical glass shard and darkroom light, infringing on its rules. This retraced technological residue leaves a raw material footprint
– a new horizon, blurred in the distance.

Kristína Kiliková – VOID – the presence of absence
Reality defined by constant accumulation, where signals overlap and meaning dissolves into noise in which everything and nothing coexist. What remains is neither a complete image nor a total disappearance, but a fragile threshold between presence and erasure. The persistence of something that can no longer be fully perceived. Void is an attempt to capture the presence of absence – to attend to what remains when the visible recedes, and to the silence that emerges not outside the noise, but from within it.

Kristína Kordiaková – Refraction / Dispersion
White Noise as Absolute Plenitude. White noise is a monolith in which all frequencies sound at once, compressed into
a single white beam. Where signals accumulate into a continuous background, it is the optical image of information saturation. Refraction is the first collision. Handmade objects of blood and urine disrupt the integrity of white light. Bodily fluids here are not merely material, but proof that the code has become flesh. Light no longer descends from above, but settles beneath the skin. The beam strikes an obstacle, slows down, and changes direction within a geometry of reflections and distortions. Dispersion is the moment of release, in which the monolith breaks down into its elemental components. Static noise reveals the hidden anatomy of chromatic structures, the transformation of chaos into spectrum.
