TRAVELING THROUGH INHABITED WORLDS
This is an interdisciplinary project that includes a series of collages, a series of graphics, an album, objects, paintings, and a poem in Russian. Parts of the project have been featured in several exhibitions, but the project as a whole has not yet been realized in a single space.
This cycle is dedicated to describing the inhabited planets and systems of our galaxy and neighboring galaxies. Here bionic and crystalline life forms meet gaseous substances and scattered fractions of a single mind. But the only thing that unites these worlds is that they are all inhabited, and inhabited by intelligent beings. They have their own history and their own internal observer. And we — external and impartial observers — can only try to comprehend the peculiarities of presence in reality for all these worlds.

In Robert Sheckley's story “Hands Off!”, astronauts who have crashed on an unknown planet encounter an alien spacecraft. In an attempt to capture it, they encounter a creature—the ship's owner—whose parameters are completely incompatible with those of Earthlings. This creature is an indestructible rectangle that needs constant treatment of its surface with concentrated hydrochloric acid, travels in gel, possesses high morals and technology — in short, has nothing in common with humans except consciousness and dependence on environmental influences. The cosmonauts learn all this from indirect clues as they try to hijack the alien
ship. Similarly, the viewer can try to determine from indirect clues what kind of place awaits them on each planet, what time it is there, and what kind of creatures inhabit it. What unites them is their technogenic nature and the presence of their own space technologies. We do not know what these worlds are like. We observe them through a periscope. We do not land.

We see landscapes of distant planets inhabited by hyper-developed civilizations. The inhabitants of these planets are unknown creatures, similar only in their ability to travel through interstellar space. These creatures are at the pinnacle of technological progress. We observe them with the help of a mega-zooming intergalactic probe that penetrates the layers of the atmospheres of these distant planets, and we can say nothing about them except that they are different. But the development of their thought has led them to the same point as us: to combining and using the materials and properties of their chronotope to overcome these very properties and go beyond their limits.

A mega-approaching intergalactic probe penetrates the consciousness of a creature capable of analyzing
information about the chronotope surrounding it, and interprets this information, as if translating it
into conceptual series familiar to us. Thus, the basic concepts are horizon, movement, use, creation, biologically active and inert, presence and absence, cyclicality, development, integrity and separation, boundaries. The probe works only in the information field, in the presence of the noosphere. It gives us an image, a picture—as a reflection of scanned reality that is as understandable to humans as possible. The image is output, with interference, by the Nibiru interpretation system.

Analysis of these landscapes leads us to a globalist view of the universe: we are all one. Everything that lives, exists, reveals its presence, moves from the point of origin to the point of non-existence according to a single template, a single higher plan, and all biological and physical-chemical
diversity is only a refraction in the reflection of the single face of Being.
