Gáspár Hajdu is an architect, designer and creative coder who has been working at the interface of art and technology for more than fifteen years. He has been involved in numerous national art projects and exhibitions, designing and creating ever-changing interactive experiences and technology-based works. The exhibition presents a working method closely related to these projects and the independent works created in conjunction with them.
A work is preceded by numerous sketches or prototypes, often produced in a single day, which can often be valuable solutions in their own right. But the solutions are not always integrated into the project and become visible. The exhibition, curated by media artist Gábor Áfrány, presents works that start as sketches, respond to a problem, question, suggestion or technology, and attempts to depict the creative method behind them.
The works, produced between 2009 and 2025, operate in a variety of formats: digital surfaces and holographic displays, prints, audiovisual materials and interactive installations are used in the space. Not only is the process of making the works exciting, but experiencing them is a spectacular technological journey. The works create a meditative state that affects the senses, in which there is an ongoing dialogue between the perceived reality and the virtual world.
Several of the twelve works on display are interactive installations that respond to the presence and gestures of visitors. These simple works, sometimes based on self-serving interactions or created for their own sake, seem to have no specific purpose and become a paradox of reality. Visitors are encouraged to question their own identity and the nature of reality, while witnessing the birth of a new visual reality.
In the rest of the exhibition, the same ideas are expressed, with an even stronger focus on perception and perception. The works include endless sketches that disintegrate and then reassemble according to creative algorithms; urban landscapes that fall apart into distorted fragments; generative geometric compositions reminiscent of topographical maps; and a contradictory installation of image noise projected onto still life. Each of the works balances on the borderline between technology and art, while also attempting to reveal the creative process and approach behind them.
