Fabio Giampietro's 'Uprise' Installation at Milan Malpensa Airport

Fabio Giampietro's 'Uprise' installation runs from April 15 to October 15, 2026 at Porta di Milano, Milan Malpensa Airport, Terminal 1. Curated by Maria Grazia Mattei with sound by Alessandro Branca, the work transforms the image into an immersive environment. Giampietro's research bridges painting and computational systems, exploring vertigo as a response to the crisis of representation. His early work engaged urban residual spaces, referencing Antonio Sant'Elia and Rem Koolhaas. The Vertigo series destabilizes perspective, drawing on Paul Virilio's dromology. The Singularity series simulates cities using database logic (Lev Manovich) and Baudrillardian hyperreality. AI hallucinations are integrated as creative components, echoing Gilles Deleuze's difference and repetition. 'Uprise' presents a probabilistic city resembling Milan, experienced through scrolling rhythms and a continuous loop. The work signals a shift from representational surface to operative system, positioning Giampietro as a key figure in Data Art.
