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

Recycle Group’s ‘Sapient 1’ and ‘Sapient 2’ depict serene pastoral landscapes shaped by a vision of AI-led utopia, where technology enables transparent systems of governance. Their luminous lightbox format lends this imagined future an almost idyllic clarity, making its promise feel both alluring and quietly uncertain.

Now on view at Gazelli Art House New York as part of ‘Put the Kettle On,’ the diptych enters a wider dialogue on the ways images, technologies and systems shape our perception of reality.
Spanning more than six decades of artistic practice, the inaugural exhibition connects pioneers of computer-generated art and mass media with contemporary artists working across AI, algorithms and digital networks.

Featuring works by Agil Abdullayev, Memo Akten, Derek Boshier, Pauline Boty, Harold Cohen, Brendan Dawes, Jake Elwes, Lilly Fenichel, Jann Haworth, Kalliopi Lemos and Recycle Group, the exhibition traces unexpected links between analogue and computational practices, abstraction and figuration, and successive generations of image-making.

For us, the screen has become the main mediator between the human being and the world. We increasingly encounter reality through a grid of pixels: we see places, people, events and even ourselves through an interface that selects, filters and frames what reaches us. We are gradually seeing simply the replacement of the interface.

The screen may eventually disappear as a visible object, but the interface between the subject and the world will remain—and may move closer to the body itself. This raises the question of who controls that interface and, consequently, who shapes the reality we perceive.

What begins as a screen may eventually become something much more intimate: a system through which reality is not only viewed, but modified, supplemented or replaced.

“The future of the human body may begin with something as simple as changing the interface through which we experience reality.” — Recycle Group

As the boundary between the physical body and digital reality becomes more permeable, new technologies such as neural implants could connect thoughts directly to machines, broadening sensory experience and transforming thought into a tool for creation and communication.

However, this technological transformation could also divide society into those with modified bodies and those with physical bodies only. If technology can overcome illness, pain and physical limitations, then the body itself could become optional. "Who are you? A person who makes physical decisions with a weak body that nevertheless needs to be developed so that it does not die.’ The deeper question is whether we will still recognise ourselves within this transformed body or whether 'a person will turn into an algorithm".

“When we fully learn to create a virtual reality, it will be possible to live in two worlds without losing the senses, and you will be free to choose which world to live in.” — Recycle Group

Recycle Group will take part in ‘OURS,’ a one-night exhibition and salon exploring how visions of the future are shaped through art, science, and collective imagination. Bringing together artists, thinkers, and innovators, the evening creates a space where speculation meets action and new ways of imagining the future can emerge.

Presented with Gazelli Art House, Recycle Group’s work becomes part of this shared landscape—a point of reflection within a broader conversation about the future we are already creating.

Join us on 9 August at the Foundation for Future Aesthetics to experience the work.

Recycle Group joined the Culturvator Conversations Podcast to discuss Null, our installation presented at the Pyramids of Giza.

The conversation explores the idea of zero as a threshold—a moment where history and the digital age converge. Artists reflect on the shifting relationship between human presence and technological systems, touching on digital space, collective memory, and the artist's role in an increasingly technology-driven world. It is a conversation about how contemporary art can reshape the way we read both the past and what lies ahead.

Many thanks to the Art D’Égypte and Culturvator teams for the invitation. Special thanks to Nadine Abdel Ghaffar, Farah Yehia, Alaa El Sayegh, Amira Mostafa, and our friends Robin Abdalla and Simone Becchio, as well as to Rover Construction.

The hidden edges of artistic processes •

Before an idea hardens into form, it flickers as a restless thought—something not yet named, but already charged with direction.

What follows are fragments from a dialogue between Andrey and Georgii, circling the tension between human will and machine logic, and probing the elusive nature of choice in an age shaped by artificial intelligence.

Nullianism imagines a new form of faith for the digital age, with zero as its defining symbol—a quiet marker of a changing reality.

Alexander Panchin (.nauka), the creator of Nullianism, and Recycle Group () arrived at strikingly similar ideas by entirely different routes. After years of exploring the symbolism of zero independently, they finally sit down for their first conversation.

The meeting took place at the foot of the pyramids, where Recycle Group presented their sculpture ‘Null,’ created especially for the Forever Is Now .05 exhibition by Art D’Égypte (). Against this extraordinary backdrop, art and science intersect in a conversation about zero, belief beyond dogma, and a future shaped by knowledge, imagination, and critical thinking. They also discuss digital immortality, humanity’s fear of death, and how new systems of belief may emerge alongside technological progress.

Merging the form of a plastic waste bin with sculptural reliefs that recall ancient sarcophagi, Recycle Group's "Sarcophagus" series sculptures occupy the space between archaeological relic and discarded object.

Presented alongside classical artworks in the 2017 exhibition ‘Homo Virtualis,’ the pieces establish a striking dialogue between permanence and disposability. In an age dominated by media saturation, the boundaries between high and popular culture grow increasingly blurred, while spectacle eclipses substance, and mass appeal outweighs the pursuit of trustworthy information.

We are thrilled to share Recycle Group’s new commission, ‘Forest of Diana,’ created for a private collection.

Spanning 10 × 7 meters, the work reinterprets the ancient myth of the goddess Diana and the hunter Actaeon through the lens of contemporary digital culture. In the original story, Actaeon accidentally witnesses the goddess bathing and is punished—transformed into a deer and ultimately destroyed by his own hounds.

In this new version, the forest becomes a space of surveillance and projection, reflecting the blurred boundaries between visibility, control, and forbidden knowledge in today’s virtual world. Diana appears not only as a mythological figure, but as a symbol of hidden systems and inaccessible truths.

Recycle Group’s ‘All Saints’ series begins with algorithmic thinking and humanity’s growing willingness to delegate judgment, memory, and decision-making to technology. Belief is no longer anchored solely in traditional institutions; it increasingly migrates toward digital systems.

Reality is filtered through screens, shaped by algorithms that organise, prioritise, and frame our understanding of the world. Technology emerges not merely as a tool, but as a new object of faith—an unseen force influencing perception, behaviour, and experience.
