Extinct Moments
This workshop explores extinct moments, experiences that our fast, optimized culture has quietly removed. Moments that used to be normal but almost never happen now. Being unreachable for a while. Walking through a city without constant ads. Making a decision without an algorithm guiding you. Talking to someone without checking a screen. A holiday that wasn’t documented for strangers. A friendship that lived offline.
Students will choose one disappearing moment and turn it into a symbolic flag. The task is not to illustrate the moment, but to reduce it into simple visual elements: form, contrast and rhythm. Each flag becomes a marker of a cultural or environmental moment that has slipped away. Together, the flags create a small archive of things we once had but no longer notice are gone.
Kuki Iwanski is a visual artist and designer working across identity, installation and print. His practice explores how symbols, color and form shape collective experience, often through experimental flag systems and large scale spatial works. He is the creator of the ongoing project Ghosts of Tomorrow, shown in cities across Europe and Asia, and known for its bold visual language and critical reflection on consumerism, memory and transformation. Alongside commissioned work, Kuki develops long-term artistic projects that focus on reduction, clarity and the power of visual communication in public space.
