Patakk

Paolo Čerić, also know known as Patakk, is a Zagreb-based artist and programmer who has always had a deep interest in blending science and creative expression. Initially introduced to generative art through his uncle, Čerić creates unique expressions that show appreciation for the beauty around him.

Čerić’s early work focused on animation and exploring the looping nature of GIFs. He has since shifted to long-form still works while remaining open to diverse mediums. He dabbles in photography, 3D modeling, industrial design experiments, interactive works and more. Notably, he collaborated with the Zagreb Dance Center to create a series of interactive projection works for modern dance performances.

As an machine learning engineer, Čerić’s recent experiments involve harnessing diffusion models to effectively convey meaning through his artistic expression. His notable exhibitions include D-izložba in Zagreb and the Perfekt Prints exhibition in Vienna. Čerić continues to evolve his artistic practice, exploring new realms and pushing boundaries.
