Iskra Velitchkova stands at the intersection of art and technology, working as a computational artist to produce both digital and physical expressions. With an extensive background in data visualization, Iskra has lent her strategic expertise to multiple scientific teams in recent years. Her work finds its mooring in generative systems, where lines of code transmute into entirely new realms of imagination, uncharted landscapes, and narratives about the human experience. Her work has been exhibited globally, including at Art Basel Miami and Hong Kong, Kate Vass Galerie, Bright Moments, Unit London, and Feral File. Her work has been auctioned at Sotheby’s and Christie’s, New York. Her work has also garnered recognition from Google Brain and IBM. Recognized by BBVA with awards in 2014 and 2015, she has graced international conferences as a speaker and served as a jury member for several events.
