FINEART Gallery presents Gleb Solntsev's solo exhibition "The method of persona ".

The name of the exhibition was not chosen by chance. An important genre for the formation of portraiture in Russia is Parsuna.
Parsuna is closely related to the word "person". Today, a "Person" is not a description of a real person, but a generalized portrait of the target audience, an artificial character whose description is based on information about real people.

The "The method of persona" is used to create software that is not written by a sub-average person, but created by a user generalized by an algorithm. Despite the "electronic footprint" used in the creation of the exhibition, there is also an "icon's approach"

The name of the exhibition does not coincide with the code name of the entire project, which Gleb Solntsev started two years ago with the creation of the neural network@Sun.Gaz together with neural network engineer Alexey Gaziev. The exhibition dedicated to this was held in Krakow, Berlin, Tokyo, Novosibirsk. Two-dimensional images of the works of Gleb Solntsev, grown on the basis of bigdata, evolved into the ability to "collaborate" with a neural network through a linguistic interface. It has also become
possible to create streaming video due to neural network connections to the Internet . Then the author decided to turn the work in the opposite direction, where artificial intelligence already offers a "visual" by keywords (promtu) set by the artist himself. Thus, artificial intelligence becomes an apprentice.

It is important for the author that, thanks to the neurodifusion of images, an average Image is born. According to Gleb Solntsev, his experiment is that a neural network, based on a set of images given through keywords (prompt), offers its vision of some general concept of these theses. Homeland, 2000s, Russia, Teenagers... The lack of neural network knowledge about reality leads to the most abstract and detached image. The data obtained serve as a support for the painting work of the artist, who seems to be plunging into a dream, filling it with his own associations taken from existential and visual experience.
