The exhibition will take place at Cariplo Factory from November 19 to 23, showcasing 26 artworks that explore how artificial intelligence can be perceived, understood, and reimagined.

 

 

What are our hopes, fears, and curiosities about a future increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence? This is the question at the heart of Artificial Visions, an exhibition featuring 26 pieces created by 20 artists from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. The goal is to delve into the complex interaction between artificial intelligence and human creativity.

 

Organized by Cariplo Factory and Overart, a non-profit cultural association promoting art and young artists, and supported by the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and Fondazione Cariplo, this exhibition aims to stimulate and promote new ways of narrating innovation.

 

The artists were invited to interpret the concept of artificial intelligence through their personal and innovative perspectives. Using a variety of artistic styles and techniques, Artificial Visions offers a multidimensional look at how AI can be perceived, understood, and reimagined.

 

In addition to the 26 pieces created by young artists, the exhibition also features five works curated by the Cariplo Factory team, produced using artificial intelligence itself.

 

The exhibited works showcase diverse techniques and styles, ranging from traditional creations like oil and acrylic on canvas to pieces made with unconventional materials such as lightweight and transparent tulle, used to create layers and play with transparency; recycled PLA, highlighting themes of sustainability and reuse; and reflective surfaces, iridescent films, and sequins, which play with light to engage viewers more dynamically. This multiplicity of approaches reflects each artist’s expressive language and encourages reflection on the future of creativity in an increasingly automated world.

 

"Artificial Visions provides our young artists with the opportunity to interpret this new world entering our lives and to reflect on both the opportunities and the risks it brings through their creative visions. Science has no conscience; it is up to humans to give it one," says Ugo Macola, President of Overart and curator of the Artificial Visions exhibition.
