CCDF 24|AΪΝΑ

AiNa comes to life as an IRL simulation of the artist’s post-photographic Ai body of work Performing anatomies. Phialas’ work and improvisations with the performers are based on images and videos of a custom AI model she has trained. The inception of AiNa marks the artist’s initial venture into creating an IRL simulation in the genre of performance/installation based on this AI model.

"I think of the still image works as “microcosmic performances" extracted from the fabric of daily existence. Each image encapsulates mundane moments and familiar scenarios, seamlessly weaving together domestic interiors and outdoor settings. While universally relatable, these depictions are elevated by a nuanced interplay of wit and irony, infusing them with a distinctive flavour. The resulting amalgam is an assortment of absurd, illogical, and whimsically surreal episodes plucked from the canvas of ordinary life."
