The exhibition at the Scoletta dell’Arte dei Tiraoro e Battioro, curated by digital art researcher Antonio Geusa, explores digital craftsmanship through contemporary works. Held in an 18th-century guild college, the exhibit transforms the building into a modern art school.
Key highlights include Andrea Meregalli’s interactive AI installation “You Are Making Art,” which engages visitors as both creators and art pieces. Francesco D’Isa’s “Errors” uses digital prints and interactive elements to explore mistakes in AI-assisted art. MAOTIK’s immersive audiovisual installation pays homage to the pioneers of digital art.
An “exhibition within an exhibition” features sketches from old masters, linking classical and digital art techniques. Funa Ye’s “Neo-Mastr Portraits” utilizes GAN technology to depict modern Chinese identity. Accurat reinterprets landscape painting using Venice’s data.
Shu Lea Cheang’s (that has recently won the Guggenheim Award) “UKI Virus Rising” warns of technology misuse through digital animation. Additional projects by Dr. Geusa and TAEX include “Vera,” a text-to-image program for creating original artworks, and an AI-based art history quiz game.
