Portrait XO is a Berlin-based multimodal artist and independent researcher whose work fuses AI, sound, and visual art into provocative explorations of identity and creativity. Winner of the ELBJAZZ Jazzki Award (2023) and VUT Indie Awards (2021), her collaborations with AI pioneers Dadabots have garnered international acclaim, including the Eurovision AI Song Contest. Through residencies at NEW NOW FESTIVAL, BBA Gallery, and Factory Berlin x Sónar+D, she crafts audiovisual experiences that interrogate the cultural impact of machine learning. Her debut AI album WIRE critiques algorithmic bias while SOUND OBSESSED, her artist-led platform, fosters dialogue around computational creativity.

His emotionally resonant work, crafted with custom-built systems and experimental tools, has been showcased at festivals, research labs, and galleries worldwide. Published by Just Isn’t Music (Ninja Tune), Sassoon also scores films and collaborates across artistic disciplines. In 2025, he unveils Modes of Vibration, an ambitious triptych of album, performance-installation, and bespoke software, developed with support from NEMUS and Physical Audio, expanding how listeners engage with sound as both medium and experience.
