By now, the expression «white noise» is quite customary and familiar to all of us. It has transformed from a purely scientific term to a rather popular notion. Elena Gubanova’s father, an astronomer, even considers it to be, in fact, the divine essense of the universe.
A human being is a data filter and he or she are defined by the information that they discard.
Most people are oriented on a wide spectrum of perception.
One could filtrate exquisite, emotional or sensuous feelings for oneself. Or one could filtrate the flow of information up to the total clarity of the the mind and to the prerseption of the meaning of life untainted by any emotions or human problems. Each of us choses whatever is closest to us: the pure, intuitive, void, non-objective or the vital, joyful, illusory, warm.
Eveything exists simultaneously in the stream of white noise. All of us are offered a choice, and we ourselves consitute this arbitrary choice.
At the exhibition, the artists present a certain «vibration» without resorting to the surrealist devices. It is as if two parts exist within the same exposition. Non-figurative works and perfectly realistic paintings are united in the same space through a video installation. However, the «vibration» also exists within the works proper: an object or a void, a plane or a volume, a shadow or a line, simply a silhouette or a warm memory. The viewer is presented with a freedom of feeling and… the «filtration of white noise».
