New environment of object perception and about videoinstallation

          The art of representation accompanies the development of human society and varies together with it. The universal formula of art determined even by the ancient Greeks, and reduced to the statement, that art is mimesis, that is the imitating of a reality, preserves its urgency until now. Nowadays this representation is advanced by such concepts, as existention and conception, but its essence remains invariable and eventually is reduced to the fact, that the person realizes in the art his sensual perception.
          It is obvious, that we already can speak about fine art as about an orchestra with many musical tools, that is the exhibition of picturesqueness, shape, together with contents is achieved by many means. Cinema has become a vanguard among them for the 20-th century, because it gave a new capability to the representation - development in time, and also such problem for uniqueness of representational object as duplicating. Investigated in the beginning of the 20-th century by Valter Benuamin this new environment, in which all historical heritage of human art was immersed, undoubtedly has affected the object perception in fine art, and many have realized a threat, existing in this environment, to its uniqueness.
          Meanwhile the concept of "threat to the uniqueness" has bear the positive fruits, by purging art from such error representation as ritualness, and has generated such new exhibitions as pop-art, post-modernizm, installation etc.
          For today it becomes clear, that the use of traditional means for object representation leads, at best, to asceticism of an exposition. With indisputable progress in feeling of capabilities of traditional means by the artist on the one hand, it is also indisputable rather indifferent perception of art object by the spectator on the other hand. Of course the certain part of the spectators perceives rules of the game, but it is only an individual exhibition of special knowledge or hobbies, rather than universal perception. It has become clear, that traditional kinds of creative work step over their frameworks, and the artist should use new technologies.
          A video-series of the modern person, immersed in those capabilities, which are granted to him by the modern society, his sensual world, in his tendency to realize a certain transcendence, secret which is penetrating through our existence, can acquire its expression in synthetic new, objects not similar on anything, creating new environment, permitting to open the multi-layerness of perception.
          Installations can become such objects creating presence of three-dimension in three-dimension, with the constantly varying image on their surface. The conception of creation of such objects consists in filling of any subject by all space of our representation about the world, revealing of the "thing in itself" towards to the person perceiving it, giving feeling of motion in time not at the expense of abstract representation about it, but at the expense of constantly varying externally static object.
          Production technologies of plane screens, used as a forming surface, give the capability of implementation of such installations. This technology allows to create principally new sculptural works and structures, both independent, and connected with design and architecture.
          The synthesis of the videoimage and sculptural shape reveals a number of capabilities of new submission and new sounding in conceptual, plastic and install fields. Including such two opposite qualities, as uniqueness and duplicating, the objects with the constantly varying image on a surface can become a new edge in the infinite phenomenal world of reality reflection.
