(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 29 - In the first part of the digital video titled Code Temporal, shot by "3D", alias Robert Del Najae by Mario Klingemann, in the Valentino atelier in Rome, in the months that preceded the preparation of the haute collection couture SS 2021, which showed a few days ago in the Gallery of Palazzo Colonna, the attention of the two artists focused on the industrious hands of seamstresses and embroiderers.
They are "nervous" images punctuated by the algorithms of a computer, on their arms dressed in white coats, which unroll with infinite sweetness silks and chiffon.
Of other male arms this time, which after having delicately marked the fabrics with special pencils, they cut them with a steady hand to perfection.
Of feminine hands and fingers that lovingly sew small stitches on the fabrics that begin to take the shape of a dress or a cape.
A sequence of sometimes repetitive and syncopated images, rhythmized by electronic notes that also seem to arise from algorithms, performed by the musical group Massive Attack, co-founded by Robert Del Naja, referred to by many as the famous mysterious British street artist Banksy.
In the second part of the film artwork by Del Naja-Klingemann, who works with artificial intelligence, the garments of the appesia mannequins show emerge, but in working progress: the fuchsia and gold eco-fur coats that still lack sleeves, the white dresses to complete, the perfectly cut capes still to be doubled.
Third and last part the tissues seem to become organic matter, living cells.
Matter breaks down and recomposes itself.
The mannequins come alive and flap their eyelashes like humanized robots.
The art video explores the same process of the haute couture collection, playing with symmetry between learned systems, human transgression and automatic learning.
With a script made up of pieces assembled as a collage, the work was filmed using machine learning algorithms, assembled by "neuronal networks" trained by Klingemann, an artist who works with AI.
