Ice dendrites, or snowflakes, form in the atmosphere, where their shape is created. It is further transformed as they fall. This is due to the effects of weather conditions, which provides an almost infinite number of variables, thanks to which the shape of each flake becomes completely unique.

Human beings, like snowflakes, are also subject to continuous transformation from birth to the end. Both mental and physical, and these interact. In this case, however, this is not the case only depending on external influences.

If we go back to the beginning, we find the original matrix, the genetic code. This evolutionarily compiled plan determines the basic structure and development of the human being. Thanks to its modulation, this basic library provides us with a unique thought structure. It has a direct effect on our physical nature. This connectivity is readable in the Book of Five Circles - Go Rin No Sho, authored by the legendary Japanese samurai Miyamoto Musashi. It is a partial autobiography and also an analysis of the struggle of man against man. The transformation of thinking according to physical dispositions must have been a crucial factor for Musashio, given the cannon selection that Musashi underwent in huge numbers. Proof of the functionality of his adaptation was his survival, as a substantial part of these duels ended in the death of the loser. The structure of his book suggests that Miyamoto's art of the sword grew along with his mental processes. He was also strengthened by advancing meditation and philosophical thinking. This raises the question of the extent to which our mind is able to transform our body. This circle can be visible to us when we realize that in order to get somewhere or want to do something, it is necessary to virtually simulate the activity in advance, ie to imagine and thus be already in the idea. According to the theory of the amateur Swiss physicist Nassim Haramein, it is necessary to count on human memory and time at the same time. Because without our memory there would be no time for us and without time there would be no evolution. He further elaborates this in his theory of cosmic memory, which connects everything. I perceive the structure of DNA as a basic medium for contact with the past and a possible prediction of the future. Imagine being in the middle of an unknown landscape without equipment and civilization, so our survival depends on the forgotten primitive skills we hide. For example, on the ability to start a fire. Even if we do not master this skill, we have the hidden potential to start a fire. So following the essence referring to this information would help us reconstruct this lost skill. I perceive human potential as energy enabling the use of our abilities, which exist in us to a trace extent. Understanding the cryptography of our mind means learning to read in it. This will offer us the opportunity to discover the keyed abilities that are written in us through the generation medium. Since I perceive the human mind and body as an interconnected system, breaking down mental limits will allow us to look beyond our own physical horizon. However, I still see the potential as an abstract plane with no limit on the number of variable values ​​that prevent its predictability. If we fail to discover this hidden charge, then human existence will become more and more like particles moving at different speeds in space, just as we do with ice dendrites.

The amorphous form of water reveals its surroundings as a natural mirror. Through its movement, we can observe the invisible flow of winds or perceive the transformed reality in its reflection. This element also becomes the main theme in the Fluctus installation, which works with its dynamic form. It monitors the possibilities of its transformation, which it presents in an alternative form. The continuously transformed water in the installation reflects its place of origin. The modulation of its structure is based on the climatic situation from the area from which it comes. The viewer can thus observe an alternative representation of the place from which the water is transferred.

Bitcoin is an internet open-source P2P payment network and a cryptocurrency used in this network. The main uniqueness of Bitcoin is its full decentralization; it is designed so that no one, not even the author or other individuals, groups or governments, can influence the currency, counterfeit, confiscate accounts, control cash flows or cause inflation. There is no central point in the network, and no one can decide the network. Except for users and network miners, no one else figures.

Users are people who send money. Each user has one or more wallets that serve as payment addresses. Each wallet has a private and public key. If the user wants to send money, he takes the appropriate amount of his coins plus any fee and creates a transaction, which he signs with a private key. It sends this information to all nodes, users to which it is connected, they send it to others, etc. to the entire network. To the recipient, the information flashes almost immediately, in a matter of seconds, but the transaction has not yet been so-called confirmed. 

The miners confirm the transactions of the network. The miner groups the transactions waiting to be committed, adds a knim reference to the previous committed block of transactions, and a data called a cryptographic nonce. It tries to find such a nonci that the hash of the new block fits below the set limit. The limit is set so that the whole network succeeds on average once every 10 minutes, so finding a suitable nonce is difficult, the more powerful the whole network is. The Miner who succeeds in finding the nonce and in creating and confirming a new block of transactions will retain all fees from the included transactions and the fee for confirming the block.

Bitcoin should therefore be an ideal universal, uncontrollable currency that has the potential to simplify the functioning of society at the financial level. This potential streamlining of trading could lead to savings in energy, time and other resources.

However, in order for the whole system to work, a constant external supply of energy is required due to the function of the already mentioned miners. Without it, their activity on which the system is built could not be performed. 

If we perceive the currency as an element that allows the system to function as efficiently as possible and thus save energy, we are asked what the real value of this virtual currency is, even if the theoretical transition to this currency does not lead, despite decentralization and open source transparency. mass connectivity. 

This association can be visually read in this installation by using Cycle. I work outside with an organic source of energy symbolizing the biological entity around us as well as human society operating outside.

Serially connected potatoes form a living battery that provides power to the computer, the machine, which displays the current rate of this cryptocurrency. The whole cycle reflects this issue, which is currently developing both in our territory and in the world.

In addition to a possible change in the financial system, it provides insight into the possible transformation of our thinking in the near future.
