The collection regards the phenomena of the abstract ‘celestial bodies’ that appear in the black background, such as the nightly sky, as the structural composition of its syntactic program language. Integrating the disciplines used (painting, photography, music, video art), the work of art itself becomes a sign, but it uses the most concise visual code system to interpret the primary pragmatic information.
It explores individual geometrical phenomena, such as line, circle, triangle, or quadrangle according to semantic (logical) rules, on the basis of which, in process of running the course of the program, the data structures required for the composition are connected to previously known phenomena.
The series of random components and signs defined in this way carry information, and are thus tied to a function. They always depend on the subject, on the phenomena, and may therefore change – due to new information or discoveries.
RE:LAKE I
Audiovisual installation, 2010
Oil painting: Éva Köves
Digital animation: Andrea Sztojánovits
Sound mix: Kinga Kovács aka DJ Sanyi
Size: 2.5 x 2.5 meter (13 pc 40 x 30 cm)
Time length: 5 minutes
Re:Lake is the first installation of Space Collection. The painting has been made by the use of separate photos on which a chain of bicycles (bicycle wheels and their shadows) forming an open circle. The circle – as one of the main frames of mechanical constructions – allows us a particularly positive and harmonious atmosphere.The invention of the wheel is undoubtedly one of the most important achievements of all times, it is the base of many thousand years of mechanical development. The bicycle is an important stage in this development and may symbolise further advancement as well. The crowd of spokes – as seen in the artwork – could indicate the evolutional direction and softness of the constructions.
The animation sets out from the structural elements. It is like a „minimalist reflection in a mirror” made by abstracting the perspective viewing angles of the painting.
The sound (Sanyi – Ri:verse – mOde to Intellectual Poppetry) includes fragments from from the novel Hősöm tere (My Hero’s Square) by Hungarian writer Lajos Parti Nagy, and Albert Hoffmann, along with various noise and bits of different music like: Ship of Fools – Guidance is Internal feat. Albert Hofmann, Peter Finch – Foodball / Water-Vizet live performances in Budapest, 2002, 2003, Douglas Adams – Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (BBC Radiophonic Workshop), P.B. Shelley – Ode to Intellectual Property, T.S. Eliot – The Hollow Man, Marshall Mcluhan – Medium is the Massage, along with various noise and bits of different music. The mix is a fragment from radio show Kelta karó on Budapest-based community radio Tilos)

Dodeca
Paint Mapping installation, 2011
Oil painting: Éva Köves
Digital animation: Andrea Sztojánovits
Sound: Bálint Bethlenfalvy
Size: 110x110x110 cm
Time length: 1 minutes
Dodeca was created in the phylosophy of our Space Collection. The computational animation projected upon not only a painting installation, but also a painting object. It was a new technique that times called object mapping.
The structural complexity of the phenomenon is broken down to its elements by the syntactic (formal) program language of this project which uses the complexity theory approach. The shortest possible, most succinct, effective visual encoding is used to formulate the complex of information contained by the primary reception of sensory or structured information—as in pragmatics.
