Ivona Tau is a digital artist from Vilnius. With a degree in mathematics from the University of Warsaw and a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence, she draws on 15 years of experience in professional photography and AI research to explore the frontiers of visual creation. Her work, at the intersection of experimental photography, motion painting, and generative art, aims to evoke universal emotions through AI tools, transforming her personal experiences into accessible memories. Inspired by figures such as Man Ray, David Lynch, and William Eggleston, she uses neural networks (GANs) and custom models to create works that oscillate between hyperrealism and surrealism, blending utopia and urban dystopia. Her approach, both technical and poetic, is based on the idea that AI allows us to see the world differently, beyond traditional conventions, while making these technologies more human and interactive. Her creative process revolves around memory, imagination, and interactivity. Tau revisits her photographic archives, exploring themes such as solitude in urban environments and the tranquil rhythm of nature. She also experiments with long-term generative art, inviting the viewer to become a co-creator. Her visual language, marked by futuristic and cyberpunk aesthetics and captivated by contrasts between the real and the surreal, is part of a quest for immersive worlds where art and technology interact.
Represented by MTArt Agency, Ivona Tau has exhibited at prestigious venues such as Christie’s, Sotheby’s, Art Basel Miami Beach, SCOPE, CAFA, as well as the ZMK Museum of Contemporary Art (Germany) and the Francisco Carolinum Linz (Austria). Her works have been acquired by private and public collections, and she received the top prize at the Digital Ars 2020 competition and the Computer Space Forum 2021. Active on crypto platforms (Foundation, Known Origin, Tezos), she ranks among the Top 10 Women in AI (2022) and the Top 10 Creators on Tezos.

This work explores the concept of parallel realities and the paths we choose, reflecting on the multiple beginnings and various ends that compose our individual narratives.
The pieces in the collection have 217 starting points and 247 ending points that can be matched on both ends with other pieces to create longer narratives. Some endpoints are more rare or unique, the others appear more frequently, up to 6 times. The collection invites collectors to engage in a game-like experience where they are tasked with identifying matching elements and orchestrating their individual paths, through collecting matching elements.
The works in this collection are a testiment to the ever changing landscape of our environment, both natural and human-made. They echo the subtle, sometimes imperceptible transformation occurring within our surroundings, mirroring the constant, albeit gentle, metamorphosis. It is the dance of nature and civilization that is in eternal fluxus.
