“Questa razza di diavoli non conosce regole!” è il titolo di un ciclo di lavori fruibili per mezzo del visore HTC Vive, che permette, oltre alla fruizione in Virtual Reality da parte dello spettatore, anche un'interazione tramite un controller. Ho iniziato a sviluppare questi lavori nel 2017, anno in cui è stata diffusa in commercio questa tecnologia.

Indossando il visore ci si ritrova immersi in uno spazio illimitato dove molteplici forme distorte e tridimensionali fluttuano
con criteri indefiniti all'interno di paesaggi onirici o di sfondi monocromatici. Le immagini presenti all’interno di questo universo sono dei
frammenti trasfigurati di alcune mie produzioni scultoree, con le quali è possibile interagire in
maniera randomica attraverso il controller.
Ogni volta che realizzo una scultura in ceramica, la scultura viene scansionata in 3D per poi divenire una nuova componente e un nuovo layer di un paesaggio 3D fruibile in VR. Di seguito è possibile vedere un esempio di questo processo:

La serie "Questa razza di diavoli non conosce regole!" è stata presentata per la prima volta nella mostra personale "L'Apocalisse dell'ora" (Albumarte, Roma), e successivamente in occasione dell'edizione Europea del Maker Faire 2019.

La mia ricerca con la Virtual Reality è descritta all'interno del nuovo libro di Simone Arcagni "Immersi nel futuro".
Questo "Libro bianco", realizzato con il supporto della RAI, si pone l’obiettivo di indagare - attraverso dati, interviste e testimonianze - i diversi aspetti della VR, gli ambiti di applicazione e gli scenari futuri. Questa dettagliata panoramica sulla Virtual reality include al suo interno anche una sezione dedicata all'arte visiva, in cui si percorre la storia della VR all'interno dell'arte contemporanea e l'utilizzo di questa tecnologia da parte degli artisti fino ad oggi.

The selected works are seven paintings on canvas. Each oil painting that will be displayed in the exhibition will then correspond to a digital image created with the collaboration of AI. The digital images will become NFTs uploaded to the blockchain.
alessandro giannì BIO AND SELECTED WORKS


Alessandro Giannì was born in 1989 in Rome, where he currently lives and works and he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome until 2011. He has exhibited in several institutions in Italy and abroad including: the American University Katzen Arts Center (Washington DC); the residence of the Italian ambassador to the USA “Villa Firenze” (Washington DC); the MAXXI museum (Rome); the MACRO museum (Rome); the House of Arms (Rome); the Swiss Institute of Rome; the Swiss Institute of Milan ; Kühlhaus Berlin (Berlin); the Winter Museum (Siena), the Gardens of the Venice Casino. He was art director in the EGH, a project whit Enrico Ghezzi and Emiliano Montanari inside the 73rd Venice Biennale of Cinema. Recent exhibitions include: RE-NEW, Postmasters Gallery (New York - Rome); Expo Azimut Libera Impresa (Fiera Milano-Rho); Messinscèna, Chromatic number (Rome); This race of devils knows no rules!, Maker Faire - The European Edition; The apocalypse of the hour, AlbumArte.

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 (AI, VR, video, animation, 3D printing). In 2019 He has created “Vasari”, an artificial intelligence which is able to emulate his creative and conceptual process and can assist him in composing sketches. In 2020 he is one of the founders of Spaziomensa, an artist-run space created to enhance the Roman artistic ferment.
He has exhibited in several gallery and institutions in Italy and abroad including: Tang Contemporary art (Hong Kong); Postmasters Gallery (New York); the American University Katzen Arts Center (Washington DC, USA); the residence of the Italian ambassador to the USA “Villa Firenze” (Washington DC, USA); the MAXXI museum (Rome, Italy); the MACRO museum (Rome, Italy); the House of Arms (Rome, Italy); the Swiss Institute of Rome (Italy); the Swiss Institute of Milan (Italy); Kühlhaus Berlin (Berlin, Germany); the Gardens of the Venice Casino (Venice, Italy). He was art director in the EGH, a project whit Enrico Ghezzi and Emiliano Montanari inside the 73rd Venice Biennale of Cinema. Recent exhibitions include: Due to the Image, Postmasters Gallery (New York, USA); Global Song, Tang Contemporary (Hong Kong); II, Spaziomensa (Rome, Italy); Salon Palermo, Rizzuto Gallery (Palermo, Italy); Expo Azimut Libera Impresa (Fiera Milano-Rho); Messinscèna, Numero Cromatico (Rome, Italy); Questa razza di diavoli non conosce regole!, Maker Faire - The European Edition; L'apocalisse dell'ora, AlbumArte (Rome, Italy).

"Due to the image" are a series of paintings I created with the collaboration of VASARI: a custom artificial intelligence program created specifically to emulate my creative and conceptual processes, essentially becoming a "collaborator" during the production of new paintings. VASARI - the software - is able to conjure digital sketches based on certain indications and through the reworking of my previous paintings and images collected from the internet and my archives. Some of these digital elaborations become oil paintings on canvas made by me.
The oil painting is the result of several interactions I have with the AI. The AI's abilities will evolve over time.

"This race of devils knows no rules!" is the title of a cycle of works usable by means of the HTC Vive visor, which allows, in addition to the fruition in Virtual Reality by the viewer, also an interaction through a controller.
Wearing the viewer you find yourself immersed in an unlimited space where multiple distorted and three-dimensional shapes float with indefinite criteria within dream landscapes or monochrome backgrounds. The images present in this universe are transfigured fragments oftransfigured fragments of some of my sculptural productions, with which you can interact in a random way through the controller.
Every time I make a ceramic sculpture, the sculpture is scanned and becomes part of my 3d image archive.
