Mythocode
Mythology has always been a living framework through which we grasp essential human questions.
Archetypes arose in moments of collective sorrow, uncertainty, and the human need to understand the metaphysical layers of our existence.
In my practice, these archetypes often emerge almost unintentionally. I usually recognize them only after the work is complete — surfacing on their own during the creative process. As Joseph Campbell wrote, “Mythologies are not invented; they are found.”
Well — with a few conscious exceptions, such as Śiva, the god of disintegration.
Mythocode reflects this quiet return of ancient narratives within contemporary forms.

- | It started with the alleged black hole algorithm. Then I started to rotate the image out of the need to search for forms, and I saw a ship that becomes more movement, sinks into the water and becomes a part of it. But it also tries to get its direction, which, however, is uncertain. because Odysseus has to deal with the troubles of his ten-year wandering. And when space-time curves due to the algorithm, and the ship's microprocessor quickly recalculates statistics based on past data, the possibility of forecasting the future arises. however, the search is also related to humility on the journey, which becomes an allegory of Love - it is a human Odyssey.

- It was created after my return from India, where I made its first sketches in the Elphanta Caves. The philosophy of Hinduism most fully reminds us of what is Unknown — in the spiritual realm, it remains completely open. The gods are, for me, an impulse for experience and reflection on my own emotions and perceptions. Shiva holds particular significance, as he embodies both destruction and creation, becoming a symbol of intellectual, emotional, and cosmic transformation. I often wonder how technological beings might experience transformation and confrontation with the Unknown. The work was realized using the NEXT algorithm and in collaboration with an autonomous easel.
