The fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty comes back to life thanks to artificial intelligence and is transformed into a dream with “La belle au bois dormant” by Giuliana Cunéaz.
This is how the new frontiers of technology and the nanomolecular world give life, body and image to an all-female story, bringing the viewer directly to Rosaspina's bed.
Presented for the first time at the Casa degli Artisti in Milan as part of “Visible/Invisible. Techniques of wonder”, “La belle au bois dormant” is an interactive work that allows the viewer to live an immersive experience through use of Artificial Intelligence.
Lying down on a bed created by the artist with the insertion of multi-material elements, which evoke the technological universe, the visitor finds himself in front of his own vision projected on a monitor.
The intent is to let yourself be transported into a dreamlike universe, like that of "Sleeping Beauty".
It is the visitor himself who triggers the immersive process by writing a sentence on a tablet, which is reworked based on a series of inputs entered by Giuliana Cunéaz using Artificial Intelligence, which is then able to materialize the visitor's emotions.
Giuliana Cunéaz uses the nanomolecular world as a gateway to our imagination.
It is precisely the recent scientific discoveries and the opportunity to come into contact with the infinitesimal part of matter, the elements used to create multiple natures, in perpetual metamorphosis, that expand the sphere of knowledge.
“Using scientific images, I visited wonderful woods, flowers and dust which I then recreated through 3D modeling and animation,” explains the artist.
“La belle au bois dormant”, created in collaboration with the VDA Factory by Var Group, is just one of the examples that demonstrates how
artificial intelligence applied to contemporary art is giving rise to new languages to look to the future by recovering the imagination collective
and passing through images belonging to our history, our tradition and our roots.
In fact, if Giuliana Cunéaz has chosen the figure of Sleeping Beauty to speak to a contemporary audience, the prospects of technology applied to art are many and are the subject of a specific meeting on January 24th at the Casa degli Artisti in Milan on the occasion of “Dreams and dialogues with AI”.
The meeting investigates the role of AI as a tool used in the artistic process and, after the introduction by Christian Gancitano, sees the interventions of Francesca Alfano Miglietti, curator of the exhibition, Daniele Sandon, of LitoArt, who created the exhibition catalogue, Paolo Bazzani, author of the graphic project, and the artist Giuliana Cunéaz, Davide Sarchioni, Art Curator Var Digital Art, Alessandro Tiezzi, Head of Var Digital Art, Roberto Beragnoli, expert in AI and automation and Chiara Canali, art critic and curator.
Var Digital Art is the project that aims to create a dynamic center of experimentation, study, research and production dedicated to the relationship between Art and Digital Technology.
The unpublished work by Giuliana Cunéaz was conceived by the artist precisely to be presented as part of the collective exhibition “Visibile/Invisibile.
Techniques of wonder”.
Var Digital Art contributed to the creation of the work, implementing its entire digital dimension: video animations were generated, starting from the images processed and provided by the artist herself with the support of Roberto Beragnoli, through artificial intelligence systems.
