DAINOTTI
Statement
My artistic practice investigates the evolving relationship between human experience and our increasingly digital reality. I focus on how we normalize violence and react to shocking and catastrophic events in our hyper-mediated world.
Through deep engagement with AI systems, virtual environments, and the liminal spaces where physical and digital realms intersect, I explore concepts of impossibility, imperceptibility, and inconceivability creating plausible yet impossible visual and narrative structures, leveraging the malleability of digital media.
Central to my work is an ongoing examination of timeless human concerns—such as fear, death, and the passage of time—as they manifest in our algorithm-dominated age. Themes of loop, time, and finitude recur in my practice, reflecting the cyclical nature of digital and virtual experience and information flow.
The nature of AI-generated imagery is a key focus in my practice, particularly the paradox of creation without observation. I investigate how AI, devoid of physical lenses or sensors, generates images solely through data analysis, a translation of a translation.
My work often leverages the ambiguity and temporal distortion of nocturnal realms to create tension between primal human experiences and technology. By blurring the boundaries between the visceral and the virtual, I invite viewers to reconsider traditional notions of authenticity and embodied experience in our digitally immersed world.
