Milkorva

France

Nicolas MICHEL (aka Milkorva) is a french visual artist and live performer based in Paris. Holding a master’s degree in Contemporary Art (Sorbonne, Paris), he has been specialized in and has worked with generative visual creation for several years. Collaborating with his longtime friend Valentin Fayaud, they co-founded TS/CN in 2020, a digital creative studio focused on designing audiovisual installations and performances (A/V).

Persistently exploring the connection between the abstract and the figurative through computational means, the artist redefines the role of technology at the core of the production process. The computer dialogue becomes generative and transcends the initial embryo. Milkorva’s work isn’t confined by time or exhibition space. Its constant evolution offers observers the chance to partake in a distinctive, personal, and renewable encounter.

Study of a Floral Drift

Study of a Floral Drift is a series of videos that examines the blooming of flowers through the lens of fragility and impermanence. Each composition originates from a singular flower generated using artificial intelligence, which becomes the starting point of a continuous motion shaped by the artist’s hand.

As the form evolves in space, the flower gradually transforms, its movement tracing vibrant paths that simultaneously reveal and dissolve its original structure. These visual trajectories echo the gestures of traditional painting, reinterpreted within a digital environment.

The flower shifts between subject and medium, evoking the fluidity of pigment spreading across a surface, while allowing for moments of unpredictability that escape full artistic control.

Through this process, the work unfolds as an exploration of movement, where digital techniques give form to a poetic vision, reshaping how we perceive a natural phenomenon that often remains invisible to the human eye.

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.
