## About

Dariusz Gross is a Silesian artist whose career traces the full arc from organic biomorphic sculpture to AI-enhanced art. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts Krakow, Academy of Fine Arts Gdansk, and Kunstakademie Dusseldorf, he coined "DATAsculpting" in 1996 — treating data as sculptural material. His work explores transformation, identity, sacred-technology synthesis, genius loci, and memory preservation through AI.
