abstract = {In the article, the author presents some of the works of the Polish artist Karolina Jarzębak, who uses cyber folklore in her work to narrate the problems of “millennials”, human loneliness and anxieties related to the current socio-political situation both in Poland and around the world. The analysis of artistic activity was based on the concepts of post-production and semionaut proposed by Nicolas Bourriaud and the theory of cultural remix, primarily in relation to its typology described in the theoretical texts of Eduardo Navas, where the so-called reflexive remix – the most important in these considerations – questions Benjamin’s aura and becoming an autonomous entity. Jarzębak’s multi-threaded works, created on the basis of Internet iconography centered around the so-called family of Oomer Wojaks, intertwine with forms characteristic of classical art history, but also of the 20th century neo-avant-garde. It opens the way to an extended interpretation of the works. The element that unites all the art installations is the reflection on the difficulties observed in social sciences in establishing lasting interpersonal relationships, faced by generations Y (and Z).},
