Com'è bello far l'amore da trieste in giù
18th Venice Biennale

An artificial stream of consciousness, generated in real-time by a machine, connects the nine collaborative projects displayed in the pavilion. Drawing from a curated archive of data, it endlessly explores the shared themes, aesthetics, and meanings but also emphasizes their distinct interpretations.

Each scene is procedurally composed by the machine through a combination of logic and randomness. Audiovisual elements from the nine projects are combined into dynamic collages and overlaid with thoughtfully selected text excerpts from the curators. Once a new association is found, the scene is destroyed and generated again.

Alterazioni Video's documentation of each project was tagged through a manual process carried out by multiple individuals, ensuring the tags reflected varied, subjective viewpoints. This layer of information enables the system to create visual collages with conceptual depth, generating associations that both harmonize and clash.
