SIMILI MODO

What happens if we don’t act with foresight?

- we make mistakes.

Mistakes that are not accepted in an
advanced society. How do we enable 
ourselves to get access to a world that
has so far only been pure imagination?

We create playable worlds of make-believe.

They serve as laboratories. Interfaces
between  genuineness and modification. 
As isolated  systems they meet their 
designated function  of imitating given 
regularities. Using them, we as humans 
can pursue our  urge for extension of our
habitat, the increase of our standard of
living as well as the prolongation of our 
lifespan.

With this work, the evidentiary characteristic
of the photographic medium can be
questioned in a sense that the context of
each image might differ from what can be
expected  at first appearance. Therefore,
neither the  image itself, nor its significate 
are what they pretend to be. The
photographic depiction serves as another
duplicate that carries a  vague notion of
reality towards the spectator - a reference
to our long acquired visual habit.

The spectrum of these imitations crosses
many branches of society. In the 
manufacturing and security industry as
well as in the context of education and 
entertainment, the course is set for
transformation that we as a society will
notice in the long run.
