Galina Bleikh
Galina is a multidisciplinary artist. Her artistic expertise spans a rich spectrum of art fields, including AI art, 3D art, AR and VR, bio art, video art, generative art, and more. Galina Bleikh's artistic practice is aimed at creating an artistic language through which a person can interact with the new technological reality, forming a unified synergistic creative potential with it.
Galina's experiences in different creative forms brought her closer to the field of collaborative projects. Since 2011 Galina together with the artist Elena Serebryakova created a visual idea of the "Simulacro-centric World", as an expression of a unique creative approach known as "Hybrid Neural Network Art" (HNN Art http://hnn-art.com).
Galina completed her master's degree in art and industry at the Stieglitz Academy of Art, St. Petersburg.
Since 1993 she has lived in Jerusalem.
Since 2023, Galina Bleikh has become a founder and active partner in the INEMEA Association (Israeli New Media Art www.inemea.org).
Galina is a co-curator and participating artist in international exhibitions of The Jerusalem Biennale program and international contemporary art conferences.
Galina hosts the international platform ISAST LEONARDO / LASER TALKS JERUSALEM – a meeting place and dialogue between artists and scientists.
