Google Still Lifes
About the Item
The exposition includes a series of still lifes, including graphics and generative videos. ‘Google Still Lifes’ can be seen as an imitation of autonomous computer art. Robots have long been able to draw on paper and canvas, and generative networks have been able to create artwork consisting of images stored in a huge Google database. An example is the multivariate digital still life ‘Treasure’ (2020—2021) using objects from the Google Images database, with algorithms responsible for selection and combination, controlled by the music track.

About the Artist
Dmitry Kavka (b. 1974, Moscow), an artist and graphic designer. Creates projects at the intersection of digital and material realities. The combination of various means of expression and media allows the artist to explore the paradoxes of new sensitivity, social shifts and transformations of images in the digital environment. In his works he uses both new media — digital sculptures, videos, static computer games, and more traditional techniques — such as graphics. He also experiments with new ways of representing art projects in virtual reality. For instance, in 2013, he created an online game that houses digital sculptures of the artist. In 2017, he presented an exhibition of drawings on Google Maps using Google Street View technology — the project was shown in Venice, during the 57th Biennale of contemporary art.
