In her Transition series, sparked by GAN-generated images, Maksimenko harnesses AI – an extension of humanity’s evolutionary tools – to reveal its own impact on us. Transforming and combining hundreds of sterile machine-generated visuals, the artist infuses emotional and artistic depth, crafting frozen figures, suspended in anticipation and detachment. They evoke both familiarity and disquiet, a captivating interplay of allure and unease. This emotive journey unravels our societal metamorphosis under the omnipotent sway of technology.
