Synthesis of Realities

"Synthesis of Realities" is a captivating photo exhibition where traditional film photography collides with artificial intelligence, showcasing works by Mariam Sitchinava. The exhibition presents a fusion of the artist's distinct style with AI algorithms, resulting in a mesmerizing collection that blurs the lines between the real and the unreal. Viewers embark on a journey exploring the seamless integration of human creativity and machine intelligence. The exhibition challenges perceptions, leaving viewers in awe as they struggle to differentiate between the artist's original captures and AI-generated works. The dual nature of the artworks sparks diverse emotions, ranging from wonder to skepticism. This collaborative process highlights the delicate balance between human intuition and AI algorithms. "Synthesis of Realities" invites audience to reflect on the evolving relationship between art and technology, celebrating the beauty that emerges when the realms of film photography and artificial intelligence converge.

According to the artist, ‘The idea is to display both, my film photos and AI-generated art in the exhibition. To make it easy for visitors to tell them apart, I'm planning to frame my film shots but leave the AI prints unframed. That way, viewers can quickly spot the difference’.
