Alexandra Sivov

Sivov’s work visually responds to what she encounters in newspapers and mass media. Intrigued by a news article about AI-generated portraits, she began creating portraits that imitate AI’s process of information handling. She deliberately turned to printmaking; etching, photopolymer, and silkscreen; as a contrast to the digital nature of AI. For her, there is something meaningful in using slow, tactile processes to respond to fast, data-driven systems. These traditional methods reaffirm the value of the hand, the eye, and the human intuition.

Lately she explores how we continue with our everyday lives while the world around us is constantly changing. The work reflects on the contrast between the familiarity of daily routines and the wider events unfolding around us, inviting viewers to consider how we navigate this tension and our place within it.
