CURATED: ILYA BLIZNETS

Ilya Bliznets (born 1997) is a Russian artist engaged in figurative painting and exploring its perspective visual forms. He uses both traditional materials as well as graphic editors and AI to create digital art. In his works, Bliznets starts from a certain image, giving it a subjective explanation, the material for which can serve as both self-reflection and observations of the artist.

Previously studying at the Department of Roads and Airfields, in 2017 Bliznets interrupted his studies due to his interest in contemporary art and painting. From 2017 to 2018, he was a member of the art group "Cosi o cosa" comprised of three artists who created collaborative paintings as well as earning two solo exhibitions and multiple group exhibitions. He has been active in the NFT space since 2022.

EXHIBITION

In his series DEFECTS, Ilya Bliznets speculates on what flaws artificial intelligence would leave if employed to recover human memory. Today's technologies can assist in the restoration of lost memories, and artificial intelligence can be used to evaluate data and establish links between diverse events, allowing people to remember what they had once forgotten. However, the process of memory retrieval can be hard and time-consuming. Some technologies can only recover a portion of the lost memories, while others can have harmful side effects. It is important to be aware of how technology can alter our memories and personalities.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION DEFECTS, the series of 3 NFTs by Ilya Bliznets, is part of the exhibition RECOLLECTION. AI AND MEMORY presented by EXPANDED.ART in collaboration with The NFT Gallery at their galleries in New York and London, 11 April – 13 May 2023. 19 artists explore the idea of further challenging the concreteness of human memory—personal or collective—through creative collaboration with AI. Memories are nebulous. Scientific studies and phenomena such as "The Mandela Effect" have shown that humans rarely recall things in their unbiased exactitude. Artificial Intelligence already assists human memory in the form of predictive text and GPS navigation. One would surmise that there exists a role for AI when it comes to supplementing even more complex memory. Artists: Crashblossom, Ilya Bliznets, Anna Dart, Olga Fedorova, Ross Goodwin, Danielle King, Margaret Murphy, Kika Nicolela, Roope Rainisto, Daria Rastunina, Manuel Rossner, Travis LeRoy Southworth, Anne Spalter, Nathaniel Stern, Sasha Stiles, Stephan Vasement, Nicola Villa, Sabato Visconti, and Erika Weitz.
