About the Work
About the Artist

In this series, I created fictional artifacts that look like the fragments of relics found in the ruins of an ancient civilization.

I captured the visual language of the recent past ('90s and '00s) on marble. The images in this series relate to the digital environment of that period and to computerization (such as once trendy style of bright and 3-D titles of Microsoft Word or an icon of damaged file).

Russian contemporary artist.

In my practice I explore the inextricable link between material and virtual (digital) objects, that is expressed in the principle of 'digital dualism'.

I dig into the interaction of the street and digital environment. I take images and shapes from graphic editors: dotted selection, tools from program interfaces, alpha channels, and gradients. Then I give them a physical implementation with spray and acrylic paint on objects found on the street.

I suppose we should capture the modernity where digital is no longer groundbreaking, and the human environment has long been combining features of both material and digital space.

Misha Gudwin incredibly exactly occupied the unexpected niche of adapting post-Internet practices to the needs of street art and then transferred this combustible mixture into space of institutions. His art can be read on different levels, but mostly important that it is very spectacular and has a low barrier of entry, which is rarely nowadays.
