The installation "Coefficients of Humility and Spontaneity" by Lika Gomiashvili arises from the experience of the gap between variations of personal freedom and the limits of variations of this freedom. These reflections are based on the artist's interest in the philosophy of technology, cybernetics and Big data.
The work draws attention to a common symptom — the disturbing feeling that human individuality is reduced to a mathematical model and typologized to predictability (user behavior on the Web, for example). Lika explores the authoritarianism of such models, referring to the theory of a mathematician and philosopher Vasily Vasilyevich Nalimov (1910-1997), who dealt with the problems of mathematization of biology and proposed to consider a person's personality in the form of a graph of the distribution of semantic probabilities.
The project creates a spatial visual metaphor and correlates the structure of the movement from subjective goal-setting to total spontaneity and from random personal choice to balanced and independent, putting the possibility of the latter into question.
The logic of the space is formed by recreating the images of medieval Gothic stained glass windows. So, in the era of depriving a person of his individuality, a spectacular fantasy about the unknowability of the individual arises, a catalog of models of human consciousness is compiled.
