L’intelligenza artificiale come macchina perturbante è in mostra in un rifugio antiaereo di Firenze
Artist and philosopher Francesco D’Isa presents "Latent Rooms" at Rifugio Digitale, a gallery located within a former air-raid shelter in Florence. The exhibition features video works created using generative AI models like Midjourney and Seedance 2.0, which D’Isa manipulates to create dreamlike, glitch-heavy sequences. Rather than aiming for cinematic realism, the artist embraces the technical errors and "hallucinations" of the AI, resulting in an aesthetic that blends Renaissance beauty with haunting, domestic melancholy.
The show highlights a sophisticated shift in the discourse surrounding AI art, moving away from commercial mimicry toward a philosophical exploration of the "latent space." By treating AI as an unpredictable collaborator rather than a mere tool, D’Isa aligns the technology with Eastern traditions of spontaneity and the concept of the uncanny. This approach positions generative media as a tool for uncovering a collective figurative unconscious, challenging our perceptions of reality in an increasingly digital world.
