For research, Evgeniya Antonova uses a series of screenshots taken by her smartphone during her travels. Network malfunctions make it completely impossible to download the visual material. By doing research by information field artists, she discovered that the image has lost its value and authenticity, and has become a simulacrum, a copy without an original, an empty object. This happens due to the media's speculation about the information received. The increase of different sources of information causes its deformation and loss of authenticity. We cannot trace the beginning of the information and we cannot verify its originality because every forgery has a claim to being original.
