Demapoliesis by Matteo Cibic asks whether the “robotic” intelligences that we have been nurturing for years will make us obsolete?
Cibic is an Italian designer with a creative company based in Italy and is known for his objects with hybrid functions and anthropomorphic and joyful shapes.
In this exhibiton, Cibic imagines the unlikely ‘creatures’ of the future, exploring artificial intelligence and the creation of a universe inhabited by not-entirely intelligible figures.
5 facts about Dermapoliesis
- Matteo Cibic was inspired by the visionary and artist Luigi Serafini who drew and wrote the encyclopedia of an imaginary world in an indecipherable language.
- Cibic explores a story of possible animal and plant evolutions controlled by the gestures of hypothetical and mysterious artificial intelligences.
- He asks if there still be a need for us on this planet, which we are persistently filling with artificial intelligences?
- His exhibition is a narration that develops along several levels: from two-dimensional paper to the digital; from the hybrid three-dimensionality of materials (ceramics, glass, fur, textiles) to the pungent volatility of odours.
- These ‘skeletons’ are mutations of living forms onto which a new, organically digital story with unpredictable outcomes is imagined.
