Steve Zafeiriou (b. 1998, Thessaloniki, GR) is a New Media Artist, Technologist, and Founder of Saphire Labs. His practice investigates how technology can influence, shape, and occasionally distort the ways individuals perceive the external world. By employing generative algorithms, electronic circuits, and interactive installations, he examines human behavior in relation to the illusory qualities of perceived reality, inviting observers to reconsider their assumptions and interpretations.

Generative Art

9 posts

Studies, experiments, and systems that explore emergence, randomness, and algorithmic behavior.

This category examines how generative processes shape meaning, experience, and aesthetics, from AI-driven installations to physical-digital hybrids. Expect insights into algorithmic design, data-driven visuals, environmental sensing, and machine behavior as artistic material.

A resource for creatives and institutions exploring live, adaptive, behavior-based artworks.
