It is difficult to assess the scale of today’s global culture. Trying to find an adequate visual language to describe contemporary processes I make a series of works in the program which counts the money - Microsoft Excel. Millions of administrators produce their work without coming into contact with reality - and the data I use as elements of visual language can be clearly understood by a person of the corporate
Mongolian yurt – a masterpiece of minimalism and utilitarian, modern spaces for living and working has almost approached to such standard – we are content with essential, but it seems, is too much of such essential stuff.
Slogans and statements - wishes from outer and inner space of soviet consciousness - when it multiplied, it became speechless.
Solarium – a device that imitates the sunlight – and this object imitates a solarium itself. The material culture of practical things that are cheap to manufacture has become widespread standard – but we have to pay for this convenience.
All types of Soviet propaganda slogans had one thing in common – nobody had read them, but they were everywhere. “Please do not throw paper to the toilet” - an attempt to destroy historical memory, as a factor of manipulation of mass consciousness.

Trigger 1. Exhibition Form. The exhibition is constructed to deny the viewer control over the viewing process. The rhythm of observation, the order in which one encounters the works, how far one can get into each one, is no longer up to the viewer. The only thing s/he can do is leave the exhibition space by closing the browser tab. On the one hand, this is an aggressive method to grab the viewer’s attention, common to advertising. On the other hand (and with Sai, there’s always another angle), this is a self-deprecating insinuation that the artist constantly needs attention. Trigger 2. Loss of Control. The second trigger follows from the first. The process of becoming immersed in the exhibition feels literal (excuse me--virtual), like the gradual descent into a hole with no bottom, because there is no end. And this is the most dramatic and most straightforward part of the exhibition: the confession that behind the spectacular packaging lie the doubts and anxiety inherent in contemporary life, when new challenges arise so quickly that there is no time to grasp overcoming the previous ones. Trigger 3. Artistic Oeuvre.This is an account of the artist before the community, before the viewer, before himself. But this trigger -- tied to the phrase “retrospective exhibition,” with its images of formalities in honor of an anniversary -- is also used ironically. In this exhibition, Sai’s “artistic oeuvre” since 2007 is almost entirely instrumentalized, used as material for a total installation. The works are mutilated and not one of them remains in its original entirety. And so it is impossible to “read” the exhibition from beginning to end, like a book. Yet it is possible to have an experience that resembles a cosmic journey through a space with weak gravity, filled with a dense layer of artistic expressions lacking chronological logic.For Sai, art is a method for experiencing reality, and in this method he is protected by irony, which he employs to reflect on this reality. But Sai’s irony is not sarcastic; it conveys goodness and sadness, with hints of bitterness and longing, for the distance from which Sai contemplates life is not so great as to absolve him of responsibility for the current state of affairs.
