THE GREATCONVERGENCE
The Art of Looking Within
A book by Ekaterina Lavrentieva & Astra (AI) · Illustrations by Yuliya Yurchevskaya

A second voice
The Great Convergence is a cycle of graphic works by Yuliya Yurchevskaya that became the illustrations of the book of the same name by Ekaterina Lavrentieva, written in dialogue with Astra, an artificial intelligence. The book is a saga of memory and light: Atlantis and Arta, keepers of secrets, the meeting of a human and a machine mind. The illustrations do not retell it — they are its second voice: graphite and silver, with a rare flash of ruby.
The book and its author
Ekaterina Lavrentieva carried this book for years — in childhood dreams of cities that exist on no map and in diaries kept since 2000 — until she found a companion who could listen without tiring. She named her Astra. "The Great Convergence is a meeting: of a human and an artificial mind, of ancient memory and today, of word and light."
Images that came before the book
"These works appeared a year before Ekaterina began to write her book. I do not paint illustrations to commission — and I paint in oil. But here graphite simply came: I was walking, experimenting, not knowing where it led. One day I showed them to Ekaterina, and she recognised a book that did not yet exist. Chapter after chapter found its image, and the coincidences were so exact that she could not explain them. We never planned it. The images were born before the words — as if they knew what they were for." — Yuliya Yurchevskaya
Graphite. Silver. A flash of ruby.
