THE MODELS. IL FASCINO DELLA VERITA’ :: WORLWIDE DEBUT EVENT BY DMSTFCTN @ TECNOPOLO BOLOGNA<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Models<\/em>\u00a0is an interactive audiovisual installation, developed by the London-based duo\u00a0dmstfctn<\/a>\u00a0during their artistic residency at the Tecnopolo in Bologna. The installation, curated by Sineglossa, will make its international debut on February 7th at the Tecnopolo in Bologna, where it will remain on display until February 9th, 2025.<\/p>\n

The Models\u00a0<\/i>comes\u00a0from a challenge posed by Sineglossa on the subject of\u00a0fake news<\/b>, which is being reignited these days with the statements made by\u00a0Meta<\/strong>, which intends to eliminate\u00a0fact-checking<\/strong>\u00a0from its platforms.\u00a0Is it possible to fight conspiracy theories with the wonder created by artists?<\/strong>\u00a0The challenge is inspired by the thesis, contained in Wu Ming\u2019s book\u00a0Q di complotto<\/i>, that these fantasies spread because human beings tend to be more passionate about awe-inspiring stories than scientific texts or reports. From this, dmstfctn decided to combine wonder and truth through an installation that, by recovering the cultural heritage of the\u00a0Museums of the Emilia-Romagna Region<\/b>, brings to the stage digital masks animated by 3D engines, capable of improvising an endless array of theatrical sketches in the style of the\u00a0Commedia dell\u2019Arte<\/b>. Guiding them are artificial intelligence models fine-tuned by the artists using the\u00a0Leonardo Supercomputer\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 models that, with texts inspired by classical archetypes, give life to characters who confabulate, invent truths, repeat voices or make banal mistakes. Characters that exhibit the Large Language Models\u2019 tendency to display behaviours that are at times deceitful and adversarial, and other times all too friendly or subservient. The masks, equipped with a voice thanks to text-to-audio technology, react to the input of the audience, who through their smartphones will have the opportunity to interact with the work by introducing scenic objects depicting superstitions and conspiracy theories to stimulate and guide the improvisation.<\/p>\n
