Windows XD is a series of painting objects, which is a transmedia hybrid that combines two polar media like painting and new technology. A visual reference is the wallpaper of the Windows XP operating system from Microsoft showing a meadow. Works maintained in post-internet aesthetics are a kind of vision neatly balancing on the verge of utopia and dystopia; compulsive image production, detached from the context of empty virtual characters and information. Project shows drifting clouds of data, numerous references to mass culture, a copy-paste convention and other elements of the cyberculture world that together form a non-literal image of a computer interface. It's a hybrid and interactive story about simulation.
The project was created thanks to close cooperation with the Mindhelix team - Marcin Puchalski and Paulina Szczubidło - involved in creating games and applications in virtual reality.
