Making sense of random events is a fundamental human instinct, driven by an innate desire to recognize patterns that make the world easier to understand. Often, our mind seeks meaning in coincidences and random events, which sometimes leads to apophenia - the tendency to find patterns in meaningless data.
The project Bulb Fiction begins with a video of a malfunctioning light bulb - possibly due to a problem in the electrical system. The breaking signal is converted into Morse code, which the author then tries to decipher with the help of an AI. Since there is no encoded message in the signal itself, the AI, seeing that it does not satisfy the desire of its interlocutor, reaches the point where it claims that the message actually means "I love you", "I want to see you soon" or "I'm sorry, I can't translate that".
This narrative somehow tries to draw attention to the fictitious answers that people give themselves in the closed system of life, constantly wandering between meaninglessness and truth.
The project is shown during the exhibition Licht, mehr Licht, Contemporary Art Week, Plovdiv, created by Art Today Association and curated by Emil Mirazchiev.
