Sasha Stiles transforms Lorem Ipsum into AI meditation at Palazzo Citterio
Sasha Stiles, an American artist and poet, is going to present a fresh take on the famous Lorem Ipsum text at Palazzo Citterio in Milan. Her installation, called Lorem Ipsum Variorum, will feature on a large LED wall on the ground floor from July 15 to October 25, 2026. Curated by Clelia Patella, this project is part of a collaboration with Italy’s National Museum of Digital Art, focusing on digital commissions. Stiles, born in Pasadena in 1980 with Kalmyk heritage, explores the intersection of human language and AI. The work begins with the classic pseudo-Latin text that designers and publishers often use, which has origins in a damaged ancient manuscript.
