Description
Renaissance Dreams is a site-specific work generated through artificial intelligence. An immense dataset consisting of images and texts, produced between 1300 and 1600 in Italy, processed and revisited by algorithms that change shapes, colors and create original sounds. Data from each chapter-painting, sculpture, literature and architecture-were processed by AI using GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) algorithms, capable of identifying common features in images and texts from the Italian Renaissance and producing truly original creations. Images from the Renaissance artistic corpus flow before the viewer's eyes, leaving the impression of a beautiful daydream. A hypnotic walk on the trail of Italian art history. A message of beauty and rebirth tailor-made for MEET's spaces.
