Recycle Group

Within the fragile space between humans, systems and belief. Recycle Group was formed by Andrey Blokhin & Georgy Kuznetsov.

From the artist’s archive: one year ago, Recycle Group unveiled ‘La Résistance des IA’ at the Mairie de Paris Centre as part of Nuit Blanche 2025.
Today, we revisit this thought-provoking installation.

Constructed from thermoformed plastic mesh, ‘La Résistance des IA’ reflects the artists’ ongoing investigation into the growing influence of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies on contemporary life. The work addresses a question that feels increasingly urgent: what happens when machines begin to take over roles once reserved for humans?

Through a series of figures caught within barricade-like structures, Recycle Group captures a spectrum of responses to this technological shift—resistance, struggle, uncertainty, and submission. Some figures push forward, others appear trapped, their vision obscured.

At the centre stand bodies created from 3D scans of ballerinas Olga Smirnova and Jacopo Tissi. Charged with movement, resilience, and quiet defiance, they serve as a reminder of something irreducibly human: the body’s capacity to endure, resist, and assert its presence in an increasingly algorithmic world.

This work came to life thanks to the support of Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve and and the Nuit Blanche 2025 team.

‘Madonna’ explores how faith and spirituality are changing in the digital era, where online space can offer a new sense of permanence. The work presents a sacred image viewed through a grid of pixels, as if seen through the eyes of a machine rather than a human.

Created with the assistance of AI, the Madonna appears as a figure shaped by centuries of cultural memory and vast amounts of digital data. Existing somewhere between the spiritual and the technological, she evokes a world inhabited by hybrid beings—part human, part algorithm.

Recycle Group explores algorithms, digital networks, and data as invisible systems shaping human perception and collective experience. In their work, religion—once a dominant structure through which societies understood and organised the world—gives way to algorithmic logic, where reality is filtered through code, platforms, and constant connectivity.

This shift emerges through their signature material: plastic mesh. Replacing marble or stone, the synthetic lattice echoes the visual language of networks themselves—open, hollow, and endlessly circulating. Familiar poses drawn from classical sculpture and religious iconography appear within these fragile structures, creating a collision between historical imagery and digital culture.

Across multiple layers of meaning, Recycle Group’s works draw on religious motifs—echoes of ecclesiastical architecture and familiar canonical imagery surface throughout their practice. These references are not merely aesthetic: they reflect the artists’ conviction that the digital sphere, with all its attendant rituals and dependencies, has assumed a role once occupied by religion.

As we navigate the seemingly limitless expanse of virtual space, we continue to carve out enclaves of intimacy, safeguarding our most valued data in repositories imbued with a sense of sanctity. Much like the ostensorium in Catholic cathedrals, which once enshrined objects of profound reverence, the contemporary world—through the lens of Recycle Group—devises its own systems of preservation, its own vaults for what it holds most dear.

In an age when every screen demands attention and every voice competes to be heard, language begins to collapse into a single endless stream—notifications, opinions, images, noise. Everything blurs together until it feels impossible to tell where one signal ends and another begins, as though reality itself has been sealed behind glass. Have you ever felt trapped inside that constant digital hum?

This installation by Recycle Group and Blue Noses marks the artists’ second collaborative project, examining the psychological weight of living inside an overstimulated media landscape. Follow Andrew Blokhin to discover more about the work and the ideas behind it.

These portraits of Adam and Eve drift far beyond the myth of origin, rising from the earth like relics unearthed from a forgotten future. Suspended between flesh, light, and code, they evoke a reality where the spiritual and the digital bleed seamlessly into one another.

These artworks are part of the Recycle Group’s solo exhibition, Too Much, which is currently on display at the .
