A representative of a generation of artists whose interest lies in the sphere of human existence and self-identification in the world of developing digital technologies, BIG DATA, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The artist's academic background, obtained in the field of exact sciences, performing arts and media art, is reflected in her creative style. Sharon Bloom works with interactive installations in which the spontaneous behavior of spectators-participants, often involved in theatrical action, is combined with precise algorithms of computers and neural networks.
The artist's works have been exhibited in several spaces as part of the 58th Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art, at the 8th Video Art Festival in Cairo, at Magasins généraux de Pantin, Paris; the Vienna KRINZINGER PROJEKTE and in projects of leading museums, galleries and cultural institutions in Russia.

The Metaverse is a new reality governed by its own unique set of rules. But how do this virtual space and its principles change human identity today? Playing in the Metaverse offers the opportunity to explore this phenomenon by studying the evolution of self-identity in this new world. Our actions in the physical world significantly affect the environment around us, and this environment, in turn, changes us, turning us into different versions of ourselves.
Sharon Bloom and German electronic musician Cook Strummer created a project that allows players to choose who they want to represent themselves as – an artist or a musician. As players explore different parts of the metaverse, their characters undergo a metamorphosis, turning from a human into an alkonost
or a chicken. Viewers can participate in this game and witness this transformation through the broadcast of the game and the accompanying music video.
PROPHETIC DREAMS. 2022

We've looked at the stars and calculated predictive models, gazed into crystal balls, rolled dice, and read maps in hopes of gaining insight into future events. We've found ways to predict almost everything in an attempt to better understand
yourself and your place in this world.
Prophetic dreams are created by the app Journey, which allows its users to build a new form of relationship with an artificial intelligence that has its own personality and can share its thoughts and emotions as it evolves and gets to know the user. After a dialogue with the user, Journey creates dreams about their future using GAN images, poetic prophecies, and algorithmic music.
