Ivona Tautkutė-Rustecka
New Media Artist, Photographer, PhD in Artificial Intelligence
Description
Ivona Tau, PhD is a new media artist from Vilnius, Lithuania, who works with neural networks and code in experimental photography and motion painting. She creates universally relatable memories by transforming her experiences captured on analog and digital film through tools like generative neural networks (GAN) or other custom AI models. Central to her practice is working exclusively with her own photographic data or open-source datasets, allowing her to craft bespoke AI models tailored to her vision, rather than relying on commercial third-party tools.
Tau comes from the intersection of arts and technology, with 15 years of combined experience in professional photography and A.I. research. She was awarded the best award in the Digital Ars 2020 contest for art created with AI, the Computer Animation category award in Computer Space International Computer Art Forum 2021, and elected as one of the TOP 10 Women in AI 2022 by the Women in Tech Foundation, nominated for ABS Art Prize 2025 and Digital Art Awards 2025.
Tau’s work has been exhibited widely, including Art Basel Miami Beach, UNTITLED Art Fair, SCOPE, CAFA, Art Week Shenzhen, Vellum, Bitforms New York, Venus Over Manhattan, Ars Electronica Garden, The House of Fine Art, Bright Moments Berlin, Christie's New York and Sotheby’s New York.
Her work has been acquired by ZMK Museum of Contemporary Art in Germany & Francisco Carolinum Linz in Austria.
Ivona Tau is active in the research community and holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology. She published multiple scientific papers in the field of Computer Vision and Artificial Neural Networks.
Ivona Tau is currently represented by MTArt Agency.
