Artificial Intelligems is an artistic research exploring Machine Learning (A.I.) within jewellery practice. The first project will be presented during Munich Jewellery Week through an online event consisting of live dreaming sessions and a series of reflective talks (11th till 14th of March).

During these live dreaming sessions, the algorithm envisions a flow of constantly transforming, blending, glowing jewellery based upon the 969 images of jewellery it was trained with, sent in by 124 artists! Generating these ‘ornamutations’ in real-time, the project urges to reflect upon making processes, wearability, materiality, tactility, value, authorship, human-centered design… This is the first time that the collectively created, living, multidimensional jewellery will be shown. Join us for this unique experience!

Artificial Intelligems is a collaboration between Anneleen Swillen (artist, researcher, and tutor) and Greg Scheirlinckx (composer, sound engineer, and programmer), an AI and many practitioners.

It’s part of Anneleen’s current postdoc research.

The event and website are generously supported by UHasselt and PXL-MAD School of Arts, Hasselt, Belgium.

Evzo Jewellery

Evgenia Ζoidaki lives and works in Greece. In 2003 she graduated from the Mokume School of Higher Education in Athens, where she studied design and crafting of handmade and mass-produced jewellery.

Since 2015 she runs her own studio, Evzo, where she creates jewellery made of gold, silver, gemstones, enamel and synthetic materials.

Her creations are inspired by everything that surrounds and affects her, from ancient art to whatever captures the eye in modern cities where she travels. She has shown her work in group exhibitions and as an individual artist in Europe and the USA.

She has been a Silver- and Gold-smithery instructor for Handmade and Mass-Produced Jewellery since 2017.

The studio’s name, Εvzo, was formed using the first letters of her full name, Evgenia Zoidaki, and is a reference to the ancient Greek term εὖ ζῆν: εὖ means “well” and ζῆν denotes “survival”, ”life”. For ancient Greeks, εὖ ζῆν represented the ultimate good: the art of living well. It entails achieving physical and mental health and leads to the improvement of a person’s quality of life in all areas, allowing them to reach the state of happiness.
