Ivona Tau

Ivona Tau is a new media artist from Vilnius, Lithuania, who combines code, deep neural networks, and personal memories embedded in photography. Her goal is to find and evoke emotions through artificially intelligent tools.

Working at the intersection of photography and machine learning, Tau explores how AI reinterprets visual memory, capturing the tension between human perception and algorithmic reconstruction. Her practice is rooted in the materiality of photographic archives, using generative models to distort, reshape, and reimagine images, revealing the imperfections and fluidity of recollection. By training her own models on personal datasets, she maintains control over the aesthetic and conceptual direction of her work.

Tau’s work has been exhibited widely, including Art Basel Miami Beach, SCOPE, CAFA, Art Week Shenzhen, Vellum, Bitforms New York, Venus Over Manhattan, The House of Fine Art, Bright Moments Berlin, Christie’s New York and Sotheby’s New York. Her work has been acquired by ZMK Museum of Contemporary Art in Germany & Francisco Carolinum Linz in Austria.
