Within the context of a clichéd “art documentary,” the animation puts the spotlight on AI artist AIVA. Viewers get a glimpse of AIVA’s studio and watch her study and paint a nude male model while commenting on his beauty and perfection. The animation concludes with AIVA at her own exhibition, surrounded by gallery owners and her team of engineers. The audience learns that all of her exhibited works have been sold, fetching over a million dollars. With her animation, Veneta Androva addresses the systematic discrimination of women in art and the myth of the male genius that still prevails. The film also focuses on the lack of female perspectives in the field of artificial intelligence today and shows what this amounts to: a world where algorithms that satisfy human—male—needs are portrayed as female—whether it’s Siri, Alexa, Cortana, Samantha, or Ai-Da.
"AIVA" won the Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2021.
