This work is a continuation of the large work-in-progress project "Those who are running", which I started back in 2020. I worked on this project in different media (painting, graphics, sculpture, digital), as well as in collaboration with other artists. The project has several subtopics. I made one of the parts of this project at the art residency in Chemnitz, in 2022. The video and sound part was made in collaboration with multimedia artist Anna Heller.
In this work, I focused on the feeling of a hurry that I felt in October 2022. Having a big responsibility and desire not to lose every opportunity to be heard and draw attention to the war in Ukraine, I felt in an endless rush. I was running from task to task. In this state, it was not possible to enjoy the very process of completing the task. Also, even while doing a specific task, I noticed that I was thinking about several other tasks at the same time. So I was "running" even when I should have been most focused.
I was interested in how I could combine three different media in this project. The format of this work has 3 levels. The first is a pictorial part. The second is a video part with generated images and a poem superimposed on the painting. The third is the sound part.

I set myself the task: how can I use the Artificial Intelligence program in this project? And can AI somehow be related to the function of art, artist? I entered the following questions into the DALL-E program (which is an image generator): How to stop running? How to enjoy the work process? How not to hurry?
Of course, I understood that I would not get any answers. So the program reflected and produced its vision on these questions. Reflection, without the ability to provide answers to questions, is the same function that an artist performs. So in this project, I thought about how to complete my tasks, avoiding the feeling of anxiety. And also how to learn to focus and take responsibility for the fact that you allow yourself to be distracted.
