ART INSTALLATION

BRIEF

The joint exhibition of the two departments (product design and graphic design) brings to the audience a series of works that were intended to be created in a free and uncurated way, but due to the distortion of the European political timeline that took place during the semester, attention was largely focused on the mapping of current spatio-temporal conditions. Key words such as information noise, omission, indeterminacy and artificiality rose to an important place. From the planned cacophony, a new sense of the whole picture or understanding was revealed, which is represented by 11 artworks of an installation nature.



The fear of change, or metathesiophobia, is a phobia that causes people to avoid changing their circumstances due to being extremely afraid of the unknown.



INTRODUCTION

Humans are a creature of habit. Yet sometimes change comes our way. We may have expectations on how they will impact our life but we won’t know for sure until it arrives. Fear of change can lead us to be anxious, closed off or even prejudiced, but by rejecting it, we may end of with nothing.
