The installation “illusa fingo sogni fasulli”, sentence that in Italian can be read in both verses, narrates the dream of artificial intelligence, showing the execution of the recursive algorithm “invert”, that inverts non-stop, letter after letter, the sentence “illusa fingo sogni fasulli”, which is accompanied by the rhythmic reading of the sentence itself.

Artificial Intelligence is a woman’s voice that accompanies the dance of thoughts of the software, and together they create a performance on the borderline between reality and fiction, between the tangible and intangible, between the dream and the possibility of dreaming. The work looks like a double-sided black monolith made with LED screens with dimensions of 40 by 60 inch on which appears continuously the processing of the palindrome sentence that gives the title to the same. It represents a form of thought, or rather analysis, by the artificial intelligence of a complex concept made by the artificial intelligence. The execution of the code on the screen is accompanied by a reciting voice, played by the Swiss actress Cristina Zamboni who endlessly repeats the phrase that gives the title to the work. In this kind of Creative Art Coding artificial intelligence does not explicitly produces the artwork but it is realized by visualizing the real functioning of the program through its recursive steps, its parameters and the results of its calculation. The elaboration is realized using the language “Lisp” whose creator, in 1958, was the American computer scientist John McCarthy. The utilization of this style of programming language allows, through the coding with lists and brackets, the writing of compact recursive functions of great expressiveness and elegance.
