The Invisibles: The Essence Between Human and Machine

The central theme of my series "The Invisibles" explores the boundaries between human and machine, as well as between visibility and essence. This is truly the core of my artistic approach.

1. Reduction to the Essential (Essence)

The primary goal of the series is to make the "feeling of existence" itself experiential by deliberately avoiding the depiction of concrete persons and their "outer shell".

Facelessness as Liberation: In the series, the absence of faces is not treated as a deficiency but as a "liberation". This forces viewers to concentrate on what remains: body posture, light, and human connection.

Universal Archetypes: Through the loss of individual characteristics, the figures become universal archetypes. They do not represent the fate of an individual but embody human states themselves – such as "grief itself" or "hope itself". This enables deeper identification, as no biographical details distract.

In *The Vertical Axis*, this reduction to essence is visualized with particular clarity. A faceless porcelain figure sits in meditation, and from the center of the chest, a beam of pure light rises vertically. The figure does not seek the light from outside; it becomes the axis itself—the alignment of all that we are with all that is. This work embodies the core principle of the series: when we strip away the external, what remains is not emptiness, but essence made visible.

2. The Boundary Between Human and Machine

This aspect refers both to the creative process and to the philosophical classification of the art form:

The Fourth Reduction: AIgraphy is seen as a historical continuation of artistic reduction (after abstraction, minimalism, and conceptual art), where "human authorship itself" is reduced.

The Artist as Archaeologist: parus describes his role not as a classical author but as the "first viewer" or archaeologist who discovers results that emerge from the interaction between his intuition and the "latent intelligence" of the machine. The human will is thereby "algorithmically refracted", as the system adds its own associations, patterns, and "dreams".

3. Thematic Deepening

The series examines these boundaries concretely through five thematic pillars that further differentiate the tension between visibility and essence:

Visibility and Surveillance: The tension between transparency and privacy.

Fragmentation of Identity: The notion that the self consists of many voices.

Transformation and Becoming: The transition between being and becoming.

These themes create a comprehensive philosophical framework that makes "The Invisibles" not just an art series, but a profound meditation on human existence in the age of artificial intelligence.
