Because the meaning of functionality is always most apparent to us, we may pay just little attention to the richness of symbols that are inherent in our unconscious. Symbols arise from past events and are shaped by the emotions that these original events once triggered in us. But symbols can also rise from a collective origin. Those have been infiltrated into us by the society, culture, time and space, that we live in. Either way, a symbol is more than just the plane meaning of a thing. It’ s a feeling that we get touched by first and then, by the pull of power of our own interpretation, we get carried away. Once it’s manifested in the unconscious, we have to deal with it. In order to become aware of our own existence, we have to strive the understanding of symbolic meaning and its effectiveness. “The Elusiveness Of Objects And Worlds” explores the archetypal symbolism of objects that are born through a fusion of digital and analogue space. Analogue and digital chance and power of interpretation become instruments of creation to illustrate the unconscious power of imagination. The result is an intuitive way of designing unknown shapes and phygital artifacts that are carrying symbols from both worlds within them.
