1. everything.can.be.scanned (e.c.b.s) — is a project that allows you to see basic objects, which usually we don’t pay much attention to and don’t even notice them to exist, in a more detailed way.

2. Every single object is a result of one’s work, and it is essential for me to track the result, consider, and experience and enjoy it.

3. For me every physical object is an art. The quality of that art can be low or high; nevertheless I perceive it as art. In the world full of true masterpieces I believe it really makes sense that we can pave the way to the comprehension of value of the articles of general consumption. Climax of the art it seems to me — the utter bliss on what is already made, objet trouvé, the mundanity aesthetics. The art that can be compared with the Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountain”.

4. Every material object hides stories and people behind. I excitingly realize that the things I’m holding passed through dozens of people to be held by me, and to be shown through the screen to you. What’s more curious, the majority of us are just ordinary people and our stuff is what will be left after we die. It makes me sad and anxious, but as I see it — it’s rather fascinating to track what’s around me throughout my life. It doesn’t matter whether it’s my stuff or others’ — anyway it, maybe on a short period of time, even on a one moment, was a part of my life, was something I touched. Furthermore, some of the objects connect people who also recognize them or who ever owned the same.

5. Besides my own life reflection in the stuff, I suppose e.c.b.s project may be important and edutainment source of our lifestyle from the past to the future through the present. To my personal perception, e.c.b.s is a special museum that illustrates a cross-section of life in a particular time, in a particular place.

6. As regards natural origin objects: nature is the main and the best creator, it is crucial for us to refer to what it created and the way of that creation. E.g. an artless potato. Nature doesn’t create similar potatoes. Living-objects accumulate an enormous number of arrangements, colour-schemes, texture, etc. All these qualities inspire us every day.
