The images collected online by Katja Novitskova (Tallinn, Estonia, 1984) are isolated from the usual flow where our inattentive eyes move. They are printed on aluminum sheets in large formats and exhibited like physical and sculptural objects, capturing our attention thanks to their almost monumental presence. Therefore, in Pattern of Activation (bat), the image of a bat looms in a concrete space, acting as a background, gaining visibility and highlighting how thin the boundary between the physical and digital world is in our way of reading the earth's pictures.
