ALESSANDRO GIANNÌ

​

b.1989, Rome, Italy

​

In his work he collects aesthetic fragments from the web with the intention of giving them a new existence. In his artworks the analogical practice of painting merges with the use of new media, with the Internet and digital culture, investigating the connections between the digital universe, parallel universes, and the dreamlike and introspective world of human beings. In his research there are different types of works, both of a traditional nature (painting, drawing and sculpture), and of a technological nature (artificial intelligence, VR, video, animation, 3D printing). In 2019 He has created an artificial intelligence called “Vasari”, which is able to emulate his creative and conceptual process and can assist him in composing sketches.
