During 20 and 21 November, Onkaos and SOLO Independencia will host Nikita Diakur’s new project ‘Downonly’.
‘Downonly’ is a 24 hour interactive installation, in which the artist continues his exploration of the loss of control, advocating the ugly and unpredictable. The fall, as the unifying element of this generative project, on-chain and which understands animation as an interactive process, allows for the generation of a play space in which the artist entrusts his own creative process to the public.
The installation will be open to visits. Book your appointment in SOLO’s website.
‘Downonly’ is a time-limited interactive work. At once installation, interactive game and limited series of digital works, it invites participants to experience and intervene in an exploration of falling and loss of control.
Participation will take place through the project’s website, where users, via blockchain, will be able to bid on simulations. Participants’ decisions will directly affect the duration of the work. The software that allows participation is housed in a computer located at the top of a staircase, which will be thrown to the edge and thus, the participation process and therefore, the work, will end.
About Nikita Diakur
Nikita Diakur, German-based artist, uses unconventional computer simulation techniques to represent everyday activities, bringing randomness and chaos to his work. These methods lead to unexpected and spontaneous results, characteristic of his animation style.
