Numero Cromatico's AI Poetry Tapestries at T293 Rome

The Italian collective Numero Cromatico presents 'THE FUTURE WILL NOT WAIT FOR US' at T293 Gallery in Rome, their first solo show at a commercial gallery. The exhibition features the new 'Tulipani' series: large curtains made of plastic mosquito-net tiles printed with tulip patterns, bearing poetic texts generated by the collective's own AIs—P.O.E., I.L.Y., and S.O.N.H. (Statements Of the New Humanity). The works are installed with fans to create autonomous movement and invite tactile interaction and physical traversal. The collective, now comprising fourteen members and studying connections between contemporary art and neuroscience, aims to move away from passive viewing and explore new materials and languages. Spokesperson Dionigi Mattia Gagliardi explains that the title comes from a text by S.O.N.H. The show emphasizes movement—both of the artworks and the audience—and encourages visitors to touch, enter, and even dance with the pieces. The series continues the group's research into algorithm-generated content, synesthetic materials, and the balance between natural and artificial.
