Backlash, 2020. A specially trained neural network designed to determine whether a person belongs to protesters or the police, and applies retouching to hide the identity of protesters
Game Over, 2019. In collaboration with Nikita Podryadov. In this project, the artists recreated historical photographs of people in the Vladivostok fortress, blending the past and the present with the help of modern technologies
Game Over, 2019. In collaboration with Nikita Podryadov. The Vladivostok fortress was never used in warfare, and for its soldiers, the war ended without ever starting
Game Over, 2019. In collaboration with Nikita Podryadov
Game Over, 2019. In collaboration with Nikita Podryadov
Herbarium, 2020. In this video, we see the StyleGAN2 neural network imagine plants that do not exist in nature, accompanied with a soundtrack of a nightingale song processed by the neural network algorithm Magenta DDSP Timbre Transfer
NINA, 2019. This VR installation that recreates an experience of being in an infectious diseases hospital, where Nina, a roommate, shares anecdotes from her life. Albeit resembling a movie plot, they are part of a difficult and moving life of a real person
NINA, 2019. Nina’s incredible life becomes concentrated in a hospital ward and accidentally finds its viewer
Piaget Phenomenon, 2020. The Piaget phenomenon consists in the impossibility of comprehending quantity, size, or volume of objects, or length of time. The work is based on the video documentation of the breakdown of a nerve cell
SNOUM, 2018. SNOUM is a neural network trained to listen to dreams and show them through mimicking the mechanisms of dream generation in one’s mind during sleep
Vremyanka, 2020. This neural network was trained on photos of buildings; the constant change of the image reflects the impossibility of choosing one specific design, and such inconstancy lets one go beyond the limits of statics into a dynamic architecture
Dreams of the Machine. Exploring the idea of the “algorithmic unconscious”, the work features artifacts of neural network algorithms trained to reproduce the experience of human dreaming
Ten Thousand and One Nights. Sister project to Dreams of the Maсhine, the book explores the human experience of dreaming through bringing AI into the equation
Semiconductor, 2020. The sound in this audio-light installation is modulated by changes in the luminous flux, so the piece of music can only be heard with a photoresistor
Loom, work in progress. Meaning both a shadow, a mirage, and a weaving machine, here a loom is used by a neural network, which automatically creates new embroidery patterns based on existing archives
