Artist Statement:

Earring with a projector "Mascon", 2020 An earring with a built-in mini-projector, made of silver and mother of pearl. The idea was born at the junction of two completely different areas. We have combined the digital and physical world in one decoration. The projector projects an image, and the ornament with icons of social networks symbolize virtual communication - almost the only way of communication in lockdown conditions. People see the world through the prism of social networks, where reality is distorted, masked or embellished. Inspired by Stanislav Lem's work "Futurological Congress". For Lem, mascons are drugs that create a virtual reality. In this object, it is created by social networks, applications and messengers. A projector projects an image, and an ornament with icons of social networks symbolize virtual communication - almost the only way to communicate in lockdown conditions. People see the world through the prism of social networks, where reality is distorted, masked or embellished. Reality is changeable and ephemeral, like the iridescence of mother of pearl. Materials: silver, steel, mother of pearl, cubic zirconia, bluetooth headset, mini projector Instructions for turning on the projector: The earring is equipped with a projector. The projector is located in the center of the product, on the front side. To turn on the projector, move the switch located on the side of the earphone.
