The project is a reflection on how communications determine the development of a species

The stone and the phone are tools that changed the behavior of the species

The project asks the viewer a question: what do smartphones serve? Our progress or degradation? Maintaining connections or isolation from reality?

We communicate, but do we understand each other?
Neanderthals lived in isolated territories, did not maintain active connections, and did not exchange experience with neighbors; no one came to their rescue.

Cro-Magnons maintained contacts between tribes for hundreds of kilometers. This allowed them to exchange experience and resources. As a result, modern humans are descendants of Cro-Magnons, not Neanderthals.

Viewer experience:

In the modern world, we communicate more than ever. But do we understand each other any better than Neanderthals did?

The phone in the viewer's hands ceases to be a simple means of communication. It becomes an object similar to the stone. Now the viewer will not be able to look at the phone as before. They will see in it either the flint stone of progress or the flint stone of isolation and extinction—depending on how they use it themselves.
