In the abstract language of numbers, graphs and diagrams, the author sees the only possible way to talk about the reality of clerks and office workers, a layer with which the so-called an average worker.

Currently, many types of social interaction are being redefined, the results of which are quite difficult to predict. In particular, it is about changes in models of corporate culture: relations between workers, workers and employers, etc. It is all the more important now to seize the moment and document the life of a vanished creature before it becomes an object of archaeological knowledge. Turning to a program created to work with large masses of information - databases - is also an attempt to demystify artistic activity as such.
