The Semiconductor Dreams exhibition is an attempt at a utopian vision of the future, in which nature and civilization are not in opposition, but harmoniously complement each other, where people's actions are conditioned by deep respect and gratitude for nature. Perhaps, if humanity believes in the possibility of a better future, it can happen to us? After all, much of what science fiction writers wrote about is now part of our lives (the Internet, the laser, super-powerful telescopes).
The exhibition presents works created with the help of various types of prints, installations and objects. Everyone can see something of their own in them: the city of Babylon, the fish-ark, references to Zen Buddhism. The name of the exhibition is also open to interpretation. To whom exactly is she appealing? To technologies, to art as a medium, to robots or to a person who can be a conductor of meanings, energies, knowledge?
Is heaven on earth possible only if there are no people in it?
