Modern civilization is inconceivable without electricity. All spheres of human life in the 21st century are directly dependent on electricity. In just some 100 years, the planet Earth was covered with an artificial web of telegraph, telephone, fiber-optic and electrical cables. The atmosphere was filled with radio frequency electromagnetic waves carrying terabytes of information.
The entire structure of global communications is united into a kind of closed ecosystem, for entering which, in the living space of homo sapiens, portals are provided. With the help of various devices (television and radio receivers, telephones, computers), the biological mind of one individual is connected to the planetary one. As a result, constant technological progress will save a person from the need to use additional electronic devices as intermediaries between consciousness and the information field.
There will come an era of ELECTRONIZED - an era of liberation, a special state of mind, overcoming earthly passions and desires, complete peace outside of being and outside of time, as the ultimate goal of human existence.
29-year-old sculptor from St. Petersburg Pavel PIXELMAN Nikiforov creates his works from knitting wire, energy-saving lamps, wires and polyethylene.
The installation "ELECTRONIRVANA" encourages the viewer to become an active participant in the exposition. The three medium figures are connected through the umbilical cord to the mains. The splitter has 2 free slots. There are 2 loose pads next to the figures. Anyone can sit down nearby, connect a laptop or mobile phone charger and join the world mind through the global communications network.
Pavel PIXELMAN Nikiforov belongs to the category of thinking and constantly experimenting artists. By the end of 2009, we are looking forward to his personal exhibition "SILICONE", which will be held in St. Petersburg in the loft project "ETAGI". The space of the "FORMULA" gallery will be filled with graphic canvases and art objects made of silicone, the most controversial material invented by mankind.
