The international exhibition "Trained Machines" at the Electromuseum in Rostokino is dedicated to various cultural, social and aesthetic aspects of the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms into society, science and culture. The curators of the exhibition see AI first and foremost as a social phenomenon, and not just as a new tool for creating images, sound and other cultural artefacts.
The exhibition will present projects of artists and developers, research results of scientists, and digital folklore. Projects that directly use artificial intelligence algorithms and explore their social and cultural implications.
Exhibition view including sculptures: CAS_12.1 Caryatid Portrait, CAS_13.2 Augmented Hercules, CAS_08 Hellenistic Ruler

A critical and technical exploration of the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone. This work questions the epistemological qualities of AI-accelerated historiography, akin to 'reverse archaeology'.

5-channel video installation; HD film; website: thenewcolor.net; book, edition of 50.
An online mystification concerning a parascientific breakthrough discovery of a never-before-seen colour. The digital myth took the form of a fictitious company's website, video adverts & mockumentary interviews to become a viral sensation attracting mass attention online.
