"Myths of the Future": Daedalus.
«We do not fall from the sky — we lose orientation within our own mind»
Deep underground, among skull shaped repositories, archives of silent, murdered ethics, dwells the shadow of the Great Inventor. He studies. He builds. Not for glory. Not for salvation. He does it — because stopping is death, and he is not yet ready to leave. He is suspended in an endless formula of labyrinths of his own thoughts. Neural networks grown in flasks from the convolutions of the brain — his wings. He puts them on and takes flight, but not toward the sun. Toward a black mirror, a psychological chaos of creating hope and threat, in which he no longer recognizes himself. A genius who created the New Mind, but lost his own.

Dear friends and art lovers! I am delighted to present to you the fourth and final part of the collection — the culmination of many years of research at the intersection of myth, technology, and memory. The focus is on 12 original canvas prints (31 × 55 cm). For me, these works are not just paintings. They are altars of a new era, where: — digital entities gain physical form; — ephemeral images become tangible; — virtual myths earn the right to material existence. When I transferred mythological beings onto canvas, I consciously performed an act of canonization — one that has already passed into history, yet continues to live on in the digital traces of the future. The entire project is structured as a single organism comprising four dimensions:
- NFT artworks — the soul of the project, frozen in the blockchain.
- Video art — the breath and pulsation of digital entities.
- Postcards — fragile traces, resembling artifacts from ruins.
- Canvas prints — public memory elevated to the status of a monument. For me, the fourth part has become a journey from code to matter. I wanted to show how: — algorithms transform into images; — bits become flesh; — the virtual gains the weight of reality. These canvases are a bridge between eras. They preserve the memory of gods no longer worshipped, yet who continue to exist in a new, material incarnation. I see these works not as an ending, but as the beginning of a dialogue — about how art can shape the future and become a keeper of meanings lost in the age of technology. I invite you to join this conversation. Discover a world where myths gain flesh. With gratitude, Andy I Za.
