grebenshi is a Zurich-based digital media artist who trained in painting before moving entirely into computer-based work, progressing through generative art, digital painting, and 3D modeling.He describes his practice as perceptual autopoiesis, merging different ways of image-making — including 3D renders, digital painting, and custom AI models trained on his own work — into what he calls an embodied gestalt.
This autopoietic approach, in which a system's own outputs are fed back in to refine the results, runs through tools he builds himself, including gengaze, a browser-based system that generates images from patterns of visual attention such as gaze tracking, hand tracking, computer vision, and randomized roaming.,He later rewrote and expanded it into gazeCOM, adding a vision-language-model mode, an overhauled language-model system, and weighted pools for workflows and prompts.
In 2020, he made a wall-based artwork for Meta's Oculus headquarters in Zurich.In 2022, his site-specific video installation Muñañyo, made with sound designer eopane and teogalesi, premiered at the Art Innovation Gallery pilot project during Miart in Milan and was later placed among the top ten in the Animation category at the ASUS ProArtist Awards. The piece went on to further showings in 2023, at Bright Festival in Leipzig and during Design Week in Milan and Genoa.
In June 2023, grebenshi took part in “AI Surrealism”, a hundred-artist group show at Superchief Gallery in New York curated by Exquisite Workers Collective's Anna Dart and Roger Haus, contributing pieces he said aimed to pay homage to Surrealism's technical standards.That same month, at NFT Art Day ZRH in Zurich, he released loosh, part of a series of AI artworks trained on his own 3D art.A review in Single Frame Journal described his piece everything rainbow as loud and insistent rather than softly abstract, comparing the screen it appears on to a wall that has been sprayed and tagged many times over.
In 2025, grebenshi held the solo exhibition “neu /n” at Gallery Sechs in Basel, supported by objkt.com, surveying work from his earlier 3D pieces through generative AI-based art to projects engaging with what's becoming known as vibe coding.
