Sasha Stiles is a poet and artist pioneering the intersection of AI, language, and art. As a leading figure in generative poetry, she collaborates with her AI alter ego, “Technelegy,” to create works that challenge the boundaries between human and machine authorship.
For Art Osaka 2025, Stiles presents HEART MANTRAS, a generative installation that explores how language can loop, echo, and evolve through AI. The immersive work includes a real-time projection of a self-writing poem, ambient audio featuring Stiles’ voice, and wall-mounted mirrored poem sculptures inscribed with excerpts of AI-generated verse. These circular mirrors—crafted in reflective materials like rose gold, copper, and bronze—materialize the living language system behind the generative process.
A poetic meditation on love, technology, and the soul of the internet, HEART MANTRAS invites audiences into a multisensory experience that reframes poetry as both data and feeling, tradition and future.
Stiles’ work has been exhibited at MoMA, Art Basel, Kunsthalle Zürich, Outernet London, and more, and has been recognized by the Lumen Prize, Ars Electronica, and Christie’s.
