Interactive installation "Thread codes"

The interactive installation "Thread Codes" is a video mapping on the walls of a historic cheese factory, complemented by a game interface. The central element of the exhibition is large-scale moving canvases on which traditional patterns are gradually transformed into digital symbols.
The visual series, created using artificial intelligence algorithms, is based on a combination of textures of gold and pearl embroidery, floral ornaments and images of architecture of blockchain networks. This solution visually reveals the similarities in the principles of organization of natural ecosystems, cultural institutions and decentralized technologies through the metaphor of embroidery.
To launch the interactive and sequentially unlock the visual layers on the wall, visitors need to use gamepads and complete the levels in the game. The digital puzzle that needs to be assembled for this is located in a tank in the central part of the space. Participants will have to find a clue and then put the puzzle piece in the right place. If two visitors interact with the installation at the same time, the process becomes more intensive. This clearly illustrates the principles of decentralization — cooperation and collective influence.
The Thread Codes offer a new perspective on the boundaries between nature and technology and invite the viewer to become an active participant in the artistic process in which tradition and innovation harmoniously coexist.
