“The development of technology and the desire to create new products lead to the creation of new materials as well.”*

The Rubber Concrete series and the eponymous new material were created in response to the lack of access to new and innovative solutions within the industry of materials production, which is why the artist decided to make a new type of material without extensive scientific knowledge or the use of expensive laboratory equipment. The newly created material, i.e. a new type of concrete, contains all the ingredients of concrete as a composite material – cement, gravel, sand, water, but it also contains other components that make it flexible in either direction when subjected to pressure produced by the force of one’s hands. The Rubber Concrete series of sculptures preserves the function within itself, employing mechanisms, i.e. electric motors, to prove the functionality of this modern material – the newly produced rubber concrete. In order to highlight the experimental aspect of the sculptures, that is, to prove the flexibility of concrete, mechanisms that bend these concretes have been devised, operated by sensors, or, in other words, the audience. These movements are almost imperceptible, meant only to discretely demonstrate the elasticity of the concrete cuboids, while the artist believes that the point of the work lies in discrete movement, the movement between immobility and the tiniest, unexpected, albeit repetitive movement. The aim of the work is not to achieve something unrepeatable in terms of creating a new form or using metal, sensors and electric motors, but to obtain the persistence of the artistic work with the purpose of validating the artist’s research of materials and discovery of a new type of material.
