Stefano Caimi's Cybernetic Narratives at Galleria Angelo della Pergola
Stefano Caimi (born 1991 in Merate) presents five works at Galleria Angelo della Pergola in Milan, marking the design gallery's first foray into visual arts. The works, displayed on a brick wall, feature glass plates concealing gray-scale cosmologies generated by a JAVA algorithm. Caimi captures static or moving subjects, imprinting environmental sounds as lines and circles on virtual points. The algorithm produces negatives printed on photographic paper, which are then hand-fixed with a brush, creating estrangement and lightness. Fontanian cuts balance the compositions, separated from viewers by a deliberately reflective crystal that prompts reflection on the co-evolution of programmable machines and humans.
