In my artistic installation, I explore the concept of surfing the Internet and how we decode the data that exists within it. We all have a certain perception of what the internet looks like, but can we truly observe it? We interact with it through computer and smartphone screens, but the internet is more than just the interfaces of applications – it is a living, dynamic organism that can be both rapid and tranquil, slow-moving.
The amount of data we process depends on the applications or mediums through which we access it. We might calmly read articles, engage with social media, or immerse ourselves in dynamic, sound-filled TikToks that influence our emotions, shorten our attention span, and provoke an ongoing desire for more dopamine hits.

In this project, by using a non-standard interface in the form of an artistic installation, I aim to provide the viewer with a tangible experience of what happens in the internet and allow them to find a space within it that feels right for them. This could be a peaceful, soothing environment, or a dynamic space filled with constantly flowing data. The installation responds to external stimuli from the real world as well as data from the internet, changing its form. The viewer can observe and hear how the internet "lives" beyond traditional interfaces.
