Alexandra Kaloshina, founder of Solstudio Textile Group, member of the jury, about the contest task: “In solving this problem we welcome the use of image synthesis tools. We are interested in artificial intelligence because it does not replace the artist, but accelerates the development cycle and increases our efficiency. We are looking forward for both ordinary drawings and new works, combining machine and human genius.”
