BOOK: “Catalogo di piante artificiali”
Client: Personal project07/2024
The "Catalogo di Piante Artificiali" was created with the intent of exploring new solutions within the dialogue between art and nature through a book. This goal is achieved in the catalog through the orderly listing of artificial plants, each of which carries significance within the investigation. The project itself serves as a metaphor for the dialogue that is the aim of the investigation; in fact, it is the result of a collaboration between a natural (or biological) author and artificial authors, in this case "Chat-GPT 3.5" and "DALL-E 2." The parties involved in the project come from different origins. What is essential is the harmonious intersection of these parts, which include: illustrations, texts, symbolism, taxonomy, and the plants generated by artificial intelligence. Each part influences and is influenced by the others, creating a silent communication within the catalog, which dictated the rules for its development. The ultimate goal of this project is to convey a sense of imaginative hope through solutions to contemporary problems, hidden within the dialogue between art and nature.
