Objects & Design

A (m) I - I am not answering I am asking
At the beginning of 2022 the world could for the first time “touch” the AI tools which gave us various opportunies to interact with these learning machines in absolutely new way. As for the past time as for these days the new brings two main views. Enthusiasm and Concerns.
In these intentions I created three objects which reflect both. It depends only on the viewer who among the nearing is revealing his own state of these theme. Some are feared some are excited. At the bottom of the objects key frases define the state of the AI.
This Is Not Baby Machina
Deus et machina. God from the machine. Have you seen Ex Machina movie by Alex Garland in 2014? The feeling of a such real creature… Is it what are we facing now? You will see the cocoon made of recycled optical cables. Hundreds of meters knitted by hand standing on the oak stand with the letters saying “This Is Not Baby Machina.” Getting closer and closer you are realising that this is not the all. There is somehing. Hiddend in the black wires. Your eye cannot recognise it but you know. One more step to see it. A baby. Small naked creature as black as it can be. Black that anihilate all the light that reach its skin. Looking at you with crystal blue eyes. What do you feel?
Tripping Over Human Future
Smaller oak stand, placed between the others. First you will observe cocoon from which something black is bulging. Getting closer it is clear. Toddler’s legs placed upside down . If you look inside, the body is missing. Only wires and deep black inside is what your eye can see. Just legs. But not standing, they are in the move. At the bottom the frase “Tripping Over Human Future” force you to go around the object. Tripping is the key. What does it mean for me and the humanity? Is it good or bad? Think about the past. What the past have brought to the future?
I Have Changed My Mind
The smallest stand with smallest cocoon. You can see straight away what is inside. Actually it is not inside. Small black fingers which are so black that for your eyes just for a second are part of the cocoon’s structure are catching wires. What is the move of this entity? Is it going out or is it going back? What you definitely know is that it is there and it has changed it’s mind.

Murals for Ďurkovec
Restoring and rebuilding sport and recreational area in nature of Slovak Paradise gave me an opportunity to create as architectual as mural concept that combines contemporary cottages with essence of the past. The past is represented by five ornaments painted on the walls. In this region typical embroidery was made by red thread. “Parta” covering of bride’s head was decorated with colourful ribbons. I took colors of these ribbons and used them to make ornaments more vibrant as well as I added some minor new “squears” to justify murals.
All squares were painted by hand without any tape or template to make edges just perfect.
At this moment four are finished and they have already become the tourist attraction.

Architectural design
As a graduated student of High School of Industrial Design I am capable of create authentic architectual desing of private houses, cottages etc. At the beginning of the process I have to understand the story of the place, family who is dreaming of the residence. This is what leads me to capture the essence of satisfying project because it is not about me and my vision, above all it is about the people who will use it. I create unique contemporary spaces which are playing with sunlight, views and give the feeling of the ability of deep breath.
Borovie
Small atypical land in the middle of the nature with magnificent views and young family with three children. First of the leading idea was the knowledge that parents want to live with the children and want to avoid of hidding the in the rooms of the hypothetical house living alone lives. Second precondition was having enoug light because they are working from home.
I created architectual design which fits in the neighborhood where are old agricultural buildings with hip roof that I also used in this project. Open space up to the roof in the main part of the house where kitchen, living room is connected with the first floor from where parents as well as children can comunicate with the others down. During washing plates a person is occupied by view of mountain Kriváň on the east. Large french doors is connecting dining area and living room with nature outside. It is enhanced by choise of materials and colors of the furniture. Oak large dining table accompanied with chairs as dark green as spruces you can see on the other side of the meadow. Roof automatic windows as well as windows on the west on the second floor bring sunshine all the day long to the whole open space.
Megalith with Atelier
A peace of land that nobody wanted. Narrow and long and steep. I felt in love with this place and wondered why nobody see what I can see. A perfect south orientation gave me a win ticket to A+ energetic certification. Facets, narrow walls and root from the outside view whisper a little bit about the interior. The house is long so I played with narrows walls that eliminate the tunnel feeling that could occure in such a lenght. The heart of the house black block kitchen and living room are opened to the ceilling in up to 7 meter height what makes a big open space feeling straight forward to atelier on the second floor. What could be opened I opened. Main bathroom is open to the hall with built-in wardrobe. Unexpected hidden spaces like bathroom with closet or room for untidy things and closet with sink for cleaning brushes make funny moments. This house is like gallery with cozy modern home inside witch special selfcleaning windows which are placed in two levels for daylight experience. Working and living alltohgether connected.
Ďurkovec cottages
Contemporary cottages with essence of the past. I chose modern look because it is being built at presence but I accept the past of this area. Thus visit of ethnological museum was neccessary. Awesome museum employees allowed me to visit depositary with folk dresses which were worn 110 years ago exactly in villages which make borders for Ďurkovec place. Typical embroidery was red thread but I know the “parta” typical head decoration of the bride contains colourfull ribbons. Red, green, yellow and blue. These colours I chose to play with. Every woman who is making new embroidery, accepts motives but usually adds something new. I added colors so murals are vibrant and enhanced brown-grey facades. Also the doors represent chosen colors. The architecture represents actual trends with presence of the past. It makes this project different and unique.
