The artist Gregor Petrikovič has been selected as the winner of the SOLO AI ‘24 AWARD with the piece Sincerely, Victor Pike (2023).
Sincerely, Victor Pike is built upon an archive of audio recordings collected by the artist since 2016, featuring conversations with friends, partners, and acquaintances. The film intertwines AI-generated visuals with narratives of people who never met in time or space, coexisting in the memory of a semi-fictional character, Victor Pike. The work raises questions about the capacity of technology and AI-generated visuals to preserve the ephemeral nature of human interactions and the potential of new ways of visual storytelling in maintaining our shared humanity.
Gregor Petrikovič is a Slovak-British visual artist and director living and working in London. With a background in philosophy, photography and dance, his works employ bodies and movement as a driving force to engage with themes of human connection that lie beneath the surface.
This edition of the SOLO AI AWARD, Colección SOLO aimed to recognize and reward the quality, proposal, and narrative in moving image artworks created with AI, with a special interest in proposals with non-traditional storytelling.
