Alexander Mordvintsev is a researcher and artist based in Zurich, Switzerland, whose work explores the artistic capabilities of AI. He weaves machine learning, emergent phenomena, computer graphics and vision in his projects. Mordvintsev is best known for creating the DeepDream algorithm in 2015, which sparked a fundamental shift in how we visualize what neural networks "see", inspiring a new wave of artists to experiment with AI. His artworks have been exhibited at international venues such as the Barbican Centre, Gray Area, SIGGRAPH, Kate Vass Galerie and others.
