DIGIT IN THE WOODS

Installation, 2016


Engineer Aleksey Grachev

The plastic figurine from the 1950s — Digit Girl — is placed inside a transparent cube: she is walking in "the woods". Robots-insects are flying in the glowing digital space around her. There is a selfie stick in Digit's hands, she is pleased with life and she is joyfully photographing herself. Ludmila Belova elucidates: "Everything is beautiful in the digital world. There is no time in there: it can be stopped by touching the Pause button. The digital world is friendly and it is always willing to help, to blaze a trail, to select a medication, to feed, to console and to entertain. This is a new pastorale that is opposed to the harsh reality".
