INTERACTIVE PROJECTS

The significance of public art lies in its potential to shape the urban environment by introducing new content and possibilities within the city’s social and cultural space. A crucial aspect of public art is the active participation of its viewers.  In this context, I would like to present several projects where colored aggregates were used as distinctive and interactive elements. The experience of these works is a synthesis of physical, tactile, visual, and symbolic meanings. These installations are not static; they unfold over time through the presence and actions of participants. Their structure embraces entropy—the natural movement from order to disorder—allowing the work to continuously transform, never returning to its initial state. This ongoing transformation embodies a living aesthetic process. What emerges from this dynamic interaction is what I describe as a composition of infinite color: an ever-evolving visual and social field where the elements—shapes, hues, textures—are constantly rearranged by human movement and engagement. The relational nature of these installations fosters temporary communities and moments of spontaneous creativity, challenging traditional boundaries between artist, audience, and artwork. Layered sculptural forms, reminiscent of stones or clouds, offer both compositional anchors and spaces for rest. Participants are invited to explore a sensory landscape—walking barefoot through a shifting terrain of textures and colors. In doing so, they co-create the artwork in real time, contributing to an open-ended, decentralized process. In an urban context where daily life is often governed by routines, roles, and social masks, these participatory installations briefly suspend those norms. Colored aggregates become tools of shared expression, allowing for collective play and reconfiguration. The entropy-driven evolution of the work mirrors the natural impermanence of human interaction—transforming public space into a site of aesthetic and relational experimentation.
