The drop by Azerbaijani American artist Kaikhan Salakhov continues TAEX’s series exploring the possibilities of crypto-architecture and space in digital art.  The drop centres around an architectural studio where robot T.A.H.I.R.A - 108 works on models of spaceships in the spirit of deconstructivist architecture. Like many digital artists, Salakhov explores the relationship between human creativity and the artistic potential of artificial intelligence, but his approach is fundamentally different. Each of the eight video works is a game interface created by Salakhov, in which the android T.A.H.I.R.A acts as a creator. In the multi-level universe of Salakhov, artificial intelligence is not the Other, but someone close, a kin. The artist’s visual language refers to the glorious past of sci-fi and reminds of Isaac Asimov and the Strugatskys. T.A.H.I.R.A herself, depicted as the creator, is named after Kaihan’s grandfather, outstanding Soviet artist Tahir Salakhov, while her creations are similar to Salakhov’s life-long inspiration, Zaha Hadid.
