Katya Polyakova "evidence of someone"
The work was created as part of the ART GAME JAM project, where game developers built interactive systems based on works by contemporary artists. Ivan Belousov participated in this event not only as an artist and game developer, but also as a curator and specialist in interactive art, helping artists and developers establish a space for dialogue and immersing them in the context of technological and media art. The theme of the game jam was "port of destination".
"evidence of someone" consists of two parts. The first part, by Katya Polyakova, features artifacts found in a food court and sealed in epoxy resin. The artist reflects on the ecological and cultural traces of the present by preserving ordinary objects in resin, like inclusions in amber.
The second part is a digital interactive environment created by Ivan Belousov, where these objects are placed into a virtual space. The viewer is invited to break the resin to retrieve the artifacts, stepping into the role of a future archaeologist examining Polyakova’s preserved findings. By clicking on the objects, the player hears stories about them, recorded by the artist. Belousov reflects on contemporary and future technologies of scientific and computational analysis, developing a speculative scientific interface of the future.
