Crocodiled Algorithm: Periodic Name

The jury particularly appreciates the contemporary character of Tair Uria's (born 1994) multidisciplinary work. The video piece demonstrates a masterful command of narrative with a captivating blend of spray-paint aesthetics and pixelated figures. The striking use of color, combined with fragile, self-sabotaging systems and the crocodile figure in 'Crocodiled Algorithm', creates a compelling universe. The jury recognizes the powerful message of "eat or be eaten" as symbolic of the current global situation.
