HELENA SARIN: NEURAL BRICOLAGE

Helena Sarin, Rustic Mandala
Available as unique NFT on the blockchain and as a print.

Visual artist and software engineer, Helena Sarin has always been working with cutting edge technologies, first at Bell Labs, designing commercial communication systems, and for the last few years as an independent consultant, developing computer vision software using deep learning. While she has always worked in tech, Helena has been doing commission work in watercolor and pastel as well as in the applied arts like fashion, food and drink styling and photography.

But art and software ran as parallel tracks in her life, all her art being analog... until she discovered GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks). Since then generative models became her primary medium.

Much of Sarin’s work is modelled on food, flowers, vases, bottles and other ‘bricolage’ as she calls it.

Her artwork was exhibited at AI Art exhibitions in Dubai, Oxford, Shanghai,Miami, and in our Automat und Mensch show in Zürich last year; she was featured in number of publications including the Jan 2020 issue of “Art In America” magazine and in the BBC guide on How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the World where i is for… imagination.

Helena is using this time of lockdown as an opportunity to work on a few artists books, each featuring her AI artwork. 

Kate Vass Galerie is glad to have the opportunity of working with the artist and we recently acquired for our private collection several of her new works tokenized NFTs on SuperRare accompanied by the unique prints. See below:

Kate Vass Galerie is glad to announce that we will present selected works by Helena Sarin at CADAF Online at the end of June!

During this time we will be exhibiting and selling both tokens accompanied by the unique prints.

The work that you see on the right side is called: #adversarialEtching, after Modigliani

This work started as an analog drawing transcribing a Modigliani painting; it was chained via several cycleGAN models, and blended with a random output of the artist GAN Weaver model. Unique NFT on the blockchain available in the link https://superrare.co/artwork-v2/adversarialetching,-after-modigliani-10714 .
