Grit Wolany is interested in using ordinary AI tools to create extraordinary, unconventional images. What new aesthetics are possible? What interesting visual language emerges from the dialogue with the machine?
Her artistic practice is based on experimentation. The Glitch Painting series (2024) surprises the viewer with the very classical painterly feel of these algorithmic generations. It feels familiar and fresh at the same time, respecting the past but elevating it to the present.
Exploring the field of gen AI based on curiosity, serendipity and playfulness
Grit Wolany is an Art Director and Visual Artist and the AI Scout at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). In 2021/22 she completed her Master’s degree in Design, Trends & Identity at the ZHdK and wrote her thesis on the topic of “AI in the creative industries”.
What began as design research developed over time into explorative artistic work with generative algorithms and digital new media. She explores the field of generative AI based on curiosity, serendipity and playfulness.
