text from ARTUKRAINE magazine: Artists painted one of the small cabin at the sanatorium "Golden Shore", made video based on plain algorithm that generate digital camouflage and created automatic sound composition, using recordings of AM radio broadcasts (noises, sound artefacts, amateur and military radio stations, coded messages) as main source.

"For both of us, there are a lot of reflections regarding social-political situation in Ukraine, personal experience of involvement in it and adoption to it. Also, there is attempt to figure out atmosphere of cumulative awaiting caused by certain visual codes and sound connotants. Our collaborative works is some kind of synthesis of personal reflections about war in Ukraine"

For Anton Lapov this is point of view of observer perceived all facts through permanent noise of media-channels under condition of increasing pressure on inner individual autonomy in context of post-digital society of extensive web-consuption.
