Stepan Ryabchenko is a Ukrainian media artist born in Odesa. His work includes digital art, conceptual architecture, sculpture, graphics and light installations. In the center of his attention is the boundary between the real and virtual world and the new nature of art. Known for his monumental works and video installations, in which he creates a digital universe with his heroes and mythology, as well as visualization of non-existent images, such as computer viruses, electronic winds, virtual flowers, etc.
He has a lot of amazing works, but I wanted to discuss the visualized computer virus project, "Chornobyl", in particular.
"Chornobyl" was presented at Kyiv Arsenale exhibiton in 2012. It is, as I said before, a visualized computer virus known as Chornobyl or CIH.
"The idea of computer viruses is the idea of being contagious by art", says Stepan Ryabchenko about this art work.
