October 24 — The "Springs of Love / Kyiv" Polish-Ukrainian art project will be installed on Khreshchatyk Street in Kyiv. This is a digital sculpture that can only be viewed through a smartphone or tablet screen using augmented reality.
The concept was developed by conceptual artist Gabi von Zeltmann and new media artist Popes Chaba Lang. According to the director of the Polish Institute in Kyiv, Ярослав Ґодун, the project aims to create a space for emotional experience and a symbolic encounter with peace and love. He also noted that the project is an attempt to cope with the anxiety people feel about new technologies.
The musical accompaniment for the project was written by the Polish-Ukrainian group DagaDana, and the poem was written by Ukrainian poet Julia Musakovska. The symbolic patron of "Springs of Love / Kyiv" is the Grand Princess Olga.
