A narrative exhibition of amber referring to the contemporary lifestyle, the concept of luxury that is changing before our eyes and the values that Generation Z considers important and worth their time and attention.
The exhibition is of a hybrid nature , i.e. you will be able to see selected physical objects and specially prepared films using artificial intelligence , as well as multimedia materials presenting four heroines and a hero who embody the attitudes of the young generation. Recipients will be able to choose the Avatar they identify with, and thus choose what style of jewelry may be appropriate for them as a symbol of their beliefs.
Modern man lives at a different rhythm than previous generations. He sees different things around him, hears different things, needs different things and uses different things in his everyday life. It is surrounded by two realities: physical, natural for all generations, and digital, which is already the place of interaction and activities of most people, and for the youngest generation it becomes the first world with its symbols and principles of operation.
By looking at the amber jewelry created today , we can read what world, what value system and lifestyle it was designed for. Jewelry becomes, as it were, an emblem and symbol of the person who wears it. For the young generation, it is close to the emblems of various Avatars or the rewards awarded after passing the next level in the game. In this context, jewelry is a sign, a symbol, a treasure, and not necessarily a sign of prestige as it was in previous generations.
Exhibition organized by the Bochiński Foundation as part of the Gdańsk World Capital of Amber project.
