Israel

arielko is a Jerusalem-based designer, AI artist and researcher who has been fascinated by the intersection of art and technology for as long as he can remember. After a long career in top branding and advertising agencies from New York to Tel Aviv, he found himself drawn to the world of artificial intelligence, which he has made his creative playground. He sees AI not as a tool or substitute for the artist, but rather as a partner in creation, one that can enrich the process, surprise and excite. Instead of trying to control the result, arielko uses an approach he calls “Non-Prompting” - minimum instructions, maximum freedom for the machine. This leads to unexpected, sometimes even prophetic results. In his work, he examines how AI can help us understand ourselves better, plays with memory and emotion, and creates experiences that go beyond a simple image on a screen.

His work has been exhibited worldwide, and his AI films have been selected for festivals around the world.

fragile birds #2

fragile_birds__2_arielko_AI.mp4

fragile birds is part of the fragile series by arielko, a visual exploration that began with a unique style he discovered through his creative journey on Midjourney. Previous works in the series include "Fragile Goddesses", exhibited at Oculus in New York and HSE in St. Petersburg, as well as "XOXO". This latest chapter focuses on birds—symbols of grace, lightness, and ephemerality—reimagined through the lens of a delicate and artificial aesthetic. Animated by Hailuo AI, each bird is brought to life with a surreal, dreamlike presence. As with all his work, arielko’s process follows a minimal-input approach, offering the AI near-total creative freedom.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
