Con la testa tra le nuvole is an ongoing series of works that finds its foundation in the attempt to list all the movies the artist has ever watched in his life. The list is unstable, changing its shape from the constant view of movies and the recollection of lost, older ones. The video installation Titoli di coda closes the first chapter of the series, presenting the result of the discussion and collaboration between the artist and ChatGPT-3.5, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAi. In this video, ChatGPT is challenged by the artist to write the script for the “perfect” film, based on the compiled list of movies he has watched up to the moment of the exhibition. The artist’s intent is to challenge ChatGPT and its possibilities, while also questioning the sense of authorship for creative content when dealing with such technologies.
