Sares (Argentine, b. 1991) is a digital artist who translates his own brainwaves, captured through EEG, into images made with artificial intelligence, 3D and generative art. Based in Buenos Aires, he runs this data through custom models, affective computing and quantum computation to build works centred on a single emotion at a time.
Under his full name, Santiago Sares, he released Admirari in 2024, a set of 100 AI-generated images inspired by Hokusai's Birds and Flowers series. He trained LoRA models on the bird and flower subjects Hokusai painted and generated the images with Stable Diffusion and TouchDesigner, organizing the set into ten sub-series that treat flowers and birds as symbols of permanence rather than transience. He has also translated electroencephalogram recordings of his own brain activity into visual and sound work through a method he calls Data Poetics. In 2025 and 2026 he presented Sensus, an EEG-driven installation, at Palacio Libertad in Buenos Aires as part of “Rituales Tecnológicos II”, curated by Marianella Baladán and Natalia Uccello, in which a headset read a participant's brainwaves in real time and an AI classifier sorted them into one of five emotional states to generate a unique version of the piece for each visitor.
