Exhibited Work: 'Twelve Nodes' video documentation
Duration: 04.09–27.09.2020
Event type: Group show
Curators: Helena Nikonole, Olga Vad
Organizer: Ars Electronica
Venue: Moscow, Russia
For many Post-Soviet countries, digitalisation is proclaimed one of the main important national priorities, however, the local context transforms the understanding and implementation of digital tools in its own way. The project aims to present several generations of new media artists from post-Soviet countries. It is dedicated to the artistic exploration of the boundaries between digital and physical spaces and the whole spectrum of phenomena and consequences of the implementations of algorithmic regulation and control tools in the local context.

#ReverseArchaeology #SyntheticHistories #Cognitecture #AIsthetics #Engistemics
Initiated in 2017, ongoing.
Marble, polyamide, machine learning algorithms, custom software, original dataset, multichannel video installation.
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the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone.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'.
#Infodemics #Infollution #Knowlegistics #EngineeredTruth
Initiated in 2011, ongoing.
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.
#Cyberdolia #Infollution #Autoesthetics #Engistemics
A text-to-image AI model was given the prompt “A single chair on a white background.” After six iterations of retraining on its own outputs, the autocannibalised model lost ability to produce realistic chair images, but non-figurative digital noise instead. Thus revealing model collapse and its fragility to recursive data feedback loops.

Written for Moscow Art Magazine №127
The essay explores the parallels between errors in AI image recognition and biases in human visual perception. It illustrates how both AI and humans misinterpret patterns for reasons that are both similar and different.
