“I work as an Artifical Intelligence artist. Applying AI as a key tool for art making, I explore its role in transforming the creative process and our relationship with technology. My work asks questions about AI's potential to push the boundaries of human creativity and gain a deeper understanding of our individual and collective experiences. I see my role as an artist to be a mediator, addressing the “digital unconscious” guiding a vector to a repository of digital imprints of sensations and feelings, and demonstrating them in visual form. Exploring how the result of this interaction can enrich our understanding of our own sensuality and emotions. Inspired by Jean Baudrillard's ideas on the stages of simulacra, I propose the concept of “Hyperhyperreality” or “Ultrasimulacra” demonstrating how AI-enabled art reveals the fifth stage of image development. At this stage, reality and its artificial replications merge, giving rise to new forms of existence, inclining us to rethink notions of authenticity and identity. Through my work I explore this hyper-hyper-reality, how digital art can stimulate us to think about what really makes us human and offers us the opportunity to take a fresh look at the inner world and the surrounding reality. where AI not only rethinks the shaping of reality, but also invites us to question traditional understandings of feelings, emotions, identity itself and the nature of perception.”
«The Sins» Project
The Sins, a series of works by which I explore the seven deadly sins of mankind: Avaritia - avarice, greed, self-interest - is, like lust or gluttony, a sin of desire, Superbia - arrogance, pride, etc. The question of sin and virtue is one of the eternal questions that have tormented mankind throughout the ages. Many have tried to give a final, final solution to this question, how sin and virtue are correlated, what is the boundary after which virtue becomes sin. All works are created in collaboration with AI: it is the base of generalized human experience and history on a given topic and analyzes the “collective unconscious”, creating a kind of social construction. As an artist, I contribute my subjective experiences, thoughts and impressions based on my emotions and life experience. This is a symbiosis of the collective - formal and the personal - sensual. The viewer himself plays an important role here, determining his attitude to the work. Behind the pictures of sin and virtue lies beauty and morality. To divide into black and white, sinful and right, the task of terrifying freedom of human choice.
