Excerpt, 1 min.

V–A–C Sreda online magazine concludes its final three-month programme on significant cultural phenomena of the past that are now almost forgotten or considered extinct, but nevertheless continue to exist.

In this issue, we present a video work by the artist collective BlueSoup, known for its practice in video art and computer animation.

In the artists’ own words, Untitled (Sea) is a universal metaphor for the structure of both the human condition and the world. A straight line cuts across the surface of the water, transforming a seascape into a meditation on boundaries—visible and invisible, permeable and insurmountable. The central motif of encounter and passage (or their impossibility) acquires an additional dimension within the unreal space of computer-generated imagery. The digital image itself becomes a barrier between the viewer and the work.
