Experimental Satire
This page deals with Experimental Satire, combining offbeat and creative approaches with humor to critique and explore current state of artworks. By stepping outside the norms of traditional satire, it makes an attempt to provoke thought through unique methods.
All the lofty descriptions of the artwork were concocted later. During their creation, I simply followed what felt cool. Now, to make myself sound profound and relevant, I’m unnecessarily elaborating on something that once had no meaning.

Intersection: Art Meets Neurophilosophy
This artwork isn’t just a mirror of our minds; it’s a dynamic representation of how thoughts, words, and perceptions interact.
- Making Sense of Chaos: Random shapes and flowing connections mimic how our brains create meaning from the chaos of sensory input.
- Thoughts Come and Go: With a click, you create new art. This reflects the Buddhist idea of impermanence — anicca. Each version is unique and fleeting, just like our thoughts and experiences.
- Linguistic Relativity: Voice input changing shape sizes demonstrates the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in a visual medium:
- Brief utterances creating small shapes represent simple perceptions.
- Medium-length phrases generating standard shapes symbolize routine thinking processes.
- Longer sentences producing larger shapes display strong emotional states.
This feature shows how the structure of our language can shape our thinking and perception.
- Cognitive Coherence Visualization: The flowing lines trying to connect shapes represent the mind’s constant effort to create stories and connections, trying to mirror our tendency to create sensible mental models, even with incomplete or conflicting information.
- Order-Chaos Duality: The mix of random generation and systematic connection shows the basic tension between entropy and organization. This duality is mirrored in our consciousness, which constantly seeks to impose order on the chaos of sensory input.
The interaction serves as a dynamic model of how our minds construct reality, highlighting the role of randomness, connection-seeking, and the power of expression in shaping our conscious experience.
