Multimedia Artist Katya Grokhovsky’s AI Assistant is “Guest from the Future”

Exploring the new realm of digital multiverse, through collaboration with a fictional AI assistant, Aisa, Katya Grokhovsky discusses her solo exhibition "Guest from the Future” as part of a month-long residency with Playform.

Katya Grokhovsky was born in Ukraine, raised in Australia and is based in NYC. She is an artist, independent curator, educator and a Founding Director of The Immigrant Artist Biennial (TIAB). Grokhovsky holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a BFA from Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne University, Australia and a BA (Honors) in Fashion from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia.

Employing hundreds of web based images of vintage postcards and snapshots of American theme parks, digitally collaged, manipulated and painted, juxtaposed with the artist’s scanned copies of faded hand printed Soviet childhood photos, as well as film stills of a popular 1980’s Soviet Sci Fi teen movie, trained and reassembled through the Playform platform, images from Guest from the Future propose innovative artmaking possibilities.
