George Egor Kraft
Born 1986 in St. Petersburg.
Lives and works in Tokyo & Vienna
Egor Kraft (japanese 空羅太 瑛士) is an artist & thinker whose work acknowledges the disrupted modern condition as a consequence of radical techno-cultural planetary reconfiguration. He lives a mobile life, splitting his time between Europe and Asia, with homes in Tokyo and Vienna, as well as deep ties to London, Berlin and previously Moscow. Kraft's multi-award winning work has exhibited worldwide, including festivals Ars Electronica [AT], Siggraph Asia [JP], Impakt Festival, [NL], WRO Biennial [PL], and such institutions as ZKM [DE], MAXXI [IT], Jeu De Paume [FR], Onassis Foundation [GR], Hermitage Museum [RU], Espacio Fundación Telefónica [ES], iMAL [BE] and many other museums and galleries. Kraft is the recipient of the 2023 Lumen Prize [UK], the 2022 New Technological Art Award [BE], the 2023 S+T+ARTS Prize honorable mention [EU], the 2022 Austrian Blockchain Award [AT], and numerous other awards and nominations. He is a lecturer at European and Asian universities, author of publications and speaker at international conferences. His research driven practice involves thought-objects, Al models, data-monuments, films, essays, hardware contraptions, web-based executions, virtu-real embodiments, investigative inquiries, hacktivist interventions, speculative proposals, hyper-poetry and other forms.

#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the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone.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.
