Intro


Cyberborea project is dedicated to various aspects of the expansion and transformation of human reality through new technologies. The project's name goes back to the legendary country Hyperborea, which, according to ancient authors, existed on the border (northern, 'beyond the Borean') regions of Oikoumene. The imagination of the Greeks endowed these lands with utopian and miraculous features, where people do not feel the need, are not burdened by work, and do not suffer from diseases. Their life is filled with art and they do not die until they want it. Cyberborea is a territory of a quite probable future, where the way of life of the Hyperboreans can be embodied.

The computer graphics of the Overworld series is dedicated to the supernatural habitat of gods and good spirits, which is usually called the 'Upper World'. The term 'overworld' is borrowed from the world of computer games, where it generally means feature a top-down view, which refers us to the typical habitat of an architectural sculpture.



The artworks were created on the basis of the author's photos of the architectural sculpture of St. Petersburg. Antique gods, heroes, historical and legendary characters, mythical animals and even ornaments are considered in it not only as aesthetically attractive objects, but also as a local semiotic system, a memory card, a cultural code that links the personal history of the city with the fundamental meanings of European and world culture.



The important element of the work on the Overworld series was the study of the specifics of the existence of architectural sculpture at the intersection of ecological, cognitive and media spaces. The titles of the artworks use not only the names of the characters, but also geographical coordinates, by which the viewer can determine the location of the original objects.
