An article about recent AI work, by Lucas Murari & Nicholas Andueza, published in ECO-PÓS magazine (Portuguese)
Full essay Google translation
Excerpt:
"Silberstein's work with artificial intelligence also brings this multiplicity typical of contemporary visual culture, perhaps announcing one of its most radical sides, since, instead of mechanical reproduction, copying the copy, it is an image that creates an image, completing the mythology of simulacrum, subjectivizing the machine...Inspired by the history of art (Magritte, Turner, Bacon - he even cites Monet) and the logic of computer programming, the screen becomes a versatile platform throughout his work. The artist combines elements and techniques from different contexts, creating a dialogue between past and present. His approach goes beyond conventional limits, exploring visual territories that challenge the possibilities of contemporary creation."

In-formations - a permanent exhibition/collection launched on Sedition Art: https://www.seditionart.com/guli.../collection/in-formations
From the catalogue:
"The idea for the collection came from my long research into achieving unique moving forms that also echo my inner and outer world. Working intensely with AI in the last two years, witnessing its rapid evolution both in technology and artists' usage, led me to go for the deepest layers of this new aesthetics. So I thought that it makes sense to escape figuritism which looks like illustrations and try to achieve more 'pure' visuals. I'm very much inspired by old masters' paintings, Impressionist and Modern artists. It's an interest that started a few years ago and keeps growing and having an effect on my work."
But then also, seeing the huge amount of images, opinions, fake news, arguments and chaos going on in the world, I felt it's right to come back in my work to more raw imagery. And it's especially intriguing seeing these visual streams flowing out from a computer mind, reflecting back everything it has learned about us humans in an inconcrete form open for interpretation, and thus hopefully creating a reflection and thought within ourselves."

An analysis of The Devil Had Other Plans by Corentin Lê in his A BRIEF HISTORY OF GLITCH essay: https://www.critikat.com/.../une-breve-histoire-du-glitch/
"For video creation on the Internet, doing datamoshing in 2020 also involves digging up a corpse, carrying out an exhumation process. This is what seems to have been tackled by Guli Silberstein, who achieved during the Covid-19 pandemic The Devil Had Other Plans (Act I) (2020), a digital compression of fragments taken from The Night of the Living Dead by George A. Romero, colorized using an algorithm [19] . By opening onto a cemetery that resonates with that of Père-Lachaise in Holy Motors (2012), for which Perconte was invited to compress a traveling fueling the Caraxian obsession with a “death of images” in the digital age [20] , The Devil Had Other Plans figures as much the flight of individuals frightened at the idea of being devoured by Romero's zombies (or germaphobia at the time of the global pandemic), as the cadaverous nature of the glitch in 2020. As with Takeshi Murata, the monster of the film is the compression itself"

A review by Tomáš Stejskal in https://www.aktualne.cz/:
"How to capture the anxiety caused by a coronavirus pandemic? Israeli video artist and editor Guli Silberstein found the ideal medium in the colored version of the famous horror film Night of the Living Dead, by which George Romero started the modern history of this genre in 1969.
The famous scenes from the house, where a group of Americans barricade themselves in front of fiery undead longing to eat them alive, are turning into abstract scenes with a strongly symbolic value.
It was difficult for Silberstein to choose a more suitable horror. The Night of the Living Dead was filmed with a black-and-white, documentary contact camera, touching on American racism and discussing that the greatest danger was ultimately the people themselves. The animation tools of the Israeli filmmaker have broken this groundbreaking horror into a disturbing audiovisual meditation, which, with the sounds of piano and fine electronics, digitally chirps about today's time when horror no longer takes the form of clearly visible monsters."
And a review by Borja Castillejo Calvo, cinesinfin6 blog:
"After exploring the beginnings of The Night of the Living Dead in its first part, Guli Silberstein continues to mix scenes and chronological shots of the film to continue in his broken and liquid analysis of the pandemic image.
The digital wear and tear displayed in a continuously mutating, melted, pixelated image runs from the scene where Ben lays Barbara on the couch after passing out to the car explodes. In that stretch of frenzy, in which they go outside for the first time to see that there is no escape, a ghostly melancholy floods the cult film that makes its way between irritating color scenes and a soundtrack that introduces some original dialogue and sounds . The second act of The Devil Had Other Plans brings associative abstraction to the field of current revelation under the intrinsic reading of the COVID-19 crisis to give a redesigned image an even more gloomy air."

PRESS RELEASE: This year we were privileged to receive over a thousand entries. Twenty wonderful films made it to the final selection for 2020. After lengthy consideration, our jury members thought the following films to be this year's finest: Field of Infinity (United Kingdom) by Guli Silberstein won Best Experimental Film. Inspired by Renaissance paintings and contemporary news broadcasts from Gaza protests - the work processes human gestures and figures in landscape into a dark and colourful scramble. An array of reflections, including concerns about the political image, image of the political, the politics of the image, and the image of image."

The Decomposition collection contains three streams of hybrid images, continuously forming and breaking apart, reflecting electronic, cognitive and collective perceptions of a dissolving world. In the face of disasters such as epidemics, climate breakdown, social unrest, political uncertainty and armed conflicts, these glimpses from around planet Earth bring together views of water, land, fields, mountains, animals, humans, all interacting in an organic texture, calling forward forces of nature as they are mingled and arranged in Earth’s ecological system.
