AI on pallet

Artificial intelligence output projection, raw pure silicon [Si], lead [Pb], iron rods, black gesso, plastic pallet

​

The content of the projection is the IBM Watson AI interpretation of the semantic roles in the original Germano Celant 'Art Povera' issue, in which Celant theorizes the movement.

​

The rationalization of semantic roles is probably the closest thing for a machine to ‘understand’ a concept.

​

This installation is part of my ongoing aesthetic exploration of the materiality of the digital spaces.

Below, the linguistic semantic roles of Celant's 'Art Povera' by IBM Watson AI:

​

  1.  Animals, vegetables and minerals  /  take  /  part

  2. The artist  /  feels  /  attracted by their physical, chemical and biological possibilities

  3. He /   to feel /  the need to make things of the world, not only as animated beings, but as a producer of magic and marvelous deeds

  4. The artist-alchemist  /  living  /  vegetable matter

  5. The artist-alchemist  /  working to discover  /  the root of things

  6. His work  /  does include /   the use of the simplest material and natural elements

  7. What  /  interests  /  him instead is the discovery
