In my graduation thesis I will present my installation entitled Modern Man in Search. In this project I am focusing on isolation from the media and flood of information of today's society. The Internet, an artificial rhizome or artificial neural connection of the vast majority of individuals in this world, has become a kind of collective consciousness, which within corporations, politics and other social relations is used as a means of manipulation and is far from mere intention to inform and spread knowledge. Given that I have chosen a spiral for the shape of the installation itself, I will also focus on this shape, its meaning, constant presence and repetition. I continue by focusing on the labyrinth and its connection to meditation. People seek inner peace and balance through meditation. The aim of meditation is to redirect our gaze, overwhelmed with outside stimuli, inwards into the darkness and thus avoid the manipulativeness of the information system.
