Yellow elements of regular pixel shape are made of yellow flock. That is a special material used in the majority of artworks of The Epoch series – a built-up yellow matte fabric that is visually associated with emojis' basic color. This fabric is applied using an electrostatic field that draws thousands of yellow spikes onto a special surface. This method symbolically visualizes the very essence of physical attraction, and the material itself looks pleasing amidst acrylic paint. Flock induces the desire to touch it and to enjoy tactile feelings.
Inspired by the works of Daniel Arsham and his methods of visual rendition of things' ageing, we recreated the image of destructivism, but Arsham's variable of time is complemented with a variable of quality of that time. Vector of our attention influences the quality of time we spend. In the reality of modern world, where our attention is a prize to win by social media, entertainment etc., it is very easy to get in the trap of non-stop consumption of endless content which is all about semblance, not meaning.

Andrey and Alexey Kulibin are self-taught artists who established their studio in 2020. Lacking a specialized artistic education, they ventured into the realm of art unbounded by conventions. They skillfully melded sculpture and painting, eventually honing a distinctive style. Their creative endeavors span a variety of mediums - encompassing painting, sculpture, and digital art. Leveraging their background in advertising, they delved into the intricacies of industrial materials and machinery. Over the past three years, this exploration has yielded a diverse array of techniques and forms.
At the core of their artistic approach lies the fusion of painting with three-dimensional constructs, painstakingly crafted through the utilization of CNC machinery and 3D printers. Within their artworks, they delve into the motif of societal metamorphosis in our contemporary technological landscape, where the value of human attention has transformed into a commodity.
