Concept: Plexus (Latin. Plexus - intertwining): The installation is dedicated to Crimea and symbolizes the socio-cultural interconnectedness between people, which is a factor in civil society.
The project's concept reveals the main message that the value of the country is integrity and unity. The individual and their voice that directs the development of society in a certain direction. Everyone is responsible for their choice, everyone has a powerful tool - will and position, which are manifested in action.
The sculpture has touch sensors and a heartbeat, so it 'feels' the touch, reads the heartbeat, and responds to changes in the graphics by adding the visitor's 'voice' to PLEXUS. Thus, by touching the sensor, the viewer can vote for the unity of the country.
In passive mode, the installation screens present a particular ornament, the symbol of Crimea and the summit 'Crimean Platform,' animated by figures from databases on changes in the population of the peninsula: mainly Crimean Tatars from the 18th century to the mixed multiethnic at the end of the 20th - beginning of the 21st century.
