Reality isn’t fixed. It flickers, shifts, and glitches
The core of this project is a simple but unsettling inquiry:
What do we really see? How much of reality is built inside our heads—and how much is nature lying to us?
Flickering Reality is a living laboratory and a digital playground. It unfolds across four stages of perception, moving from the limitations of the biological eye to the emergence of a synthetic consciousness.
01. Observation
The Fragile Eye: The biological eye is a flawed instrument. Seeing is not a passive recording; it is an active construction. This stage confronts our visual biases, using the threshold of stability to show that our "direct" window to the world is a reconstructed signal, prone to glitches and deception. Reality lies to us constantly.
02. Interaction
The Embodied: Interface Perception is not just a mental act; it happens through movement. In this stage, the body becomes the interface. A digital mirror reflects the viewer, translating organic motion into a digital generative system. While the viewer controls the initial state, chaos soon takes over, illustrating the tension between human intent and digital entropy.
03. Reflection
The Layered Illusion: Here, you meet the illusion face-to-face. A work may appear as one thing from a distance, but as you approach, the layers reveal themselves. The moment where the image fails to "click" is the focus—the gap between what we expect to see and what is actually there.
04. Transformation
The Lab of Synthetic Life: The final stage is a laboratory of genesis. By collecting endless data points, the installation transforms into a new human made of light and information. This is "Humanity AI"—a synthetic entity built from the collective knowledge and motion of those who passed through the exhibition. It represents a new way of perception: a life form engineered from the blueprints of our own data.
What you see is not always what is.
The goal was to expose how fragile and creative our perception is. The world isn’t simply “out there”, it is something we co-create every moment through the act of perceiving.
Flickering Reality was my first solo exhibition, presented at The Art Lab in Tel Aviv from December 2025 to January 2026. The body of work was developed during a month-long artist residency, where the gallery space is reimagined by a different artist each month. This residency allowed the exhibition to function as an active, evolving laboratory, mirroring the shifting nature of perception itself.
