Artist Statement:

Based on Amrita, the “Artificial Artistic Evolving Personality” created by the artist in the course of the last two decades, TIMELESSNESS is a living, impermanent piece that develops a unique personality designed to create unseen, unrepeatable visuals and music for a thousand years. An entity capable to learn from its environment, which develops its taste over time, expanding its creative process both visually and aurally, inspired by real-time geoscientific readings from Australian Aboriginal sacred sites.
During the live performance the artificial being creates the audio-visual experience, dueting with Filippo Gregoretti playing the Harmonium – a votive instrument – in a trans-human meditative session melting man and machine, the present moment and eternity, and the timeless essence of truth belonging to ancient spiritual traditions. The human performer is guided through harmonic and musical directives by the AI in real-time on a secondary personal screen, and the AI is influenced by the musician’s performance, through his music. The artistic and spiritual communion between human, algorithmic and natural essences is what the artist defines “trans-human Yoga”. The musical and visual discourse is always different and unpredictable, and the outcome is a trance-like experience stimulating a deep, instinctive connection with eternity and impermanence.
