Cielofuturo is the title of Francesco Tosini 's exhibition in the Basilica of San Celso in Milan , produced by Unframed 721, under the artistic direction of Matta. The exhibition presents a site-specific installation in the Basilica of San Celso , in Milan from 28 April to 5 May 2022 . Through the emanation of light from below, a 3.5 x 5 m led wall placed on the ground displays a chain of abstract and self-generating moving compositions, the latest result of a vertical research on video feedback that began in 2016.

Made using programming languages used to obtain recursive interaction effects, and placed in the center of the exhibition space, the video is made up of visual sources that reiterate themselves by deforming themselves into expansions of moving color. The installation creates an abstract and anti-narrative multimedia space that algorithmically generates an infinity of reactions that are by definition unpredictable.

Feedback is a process that can be referred to both living beings and technological tools, which occurs when the output of a system is returned to its input again. This connection can give rise to a kind of autonomous behavior of the medium, which reveals its internal structure.

Towards the end of the sixties the first examples of video feedback were introduced in the psychedelic art scene of New York, and then spread to the rest of the United States, especially in the counterculture movements, until it reaffirmed itself in the rave scene starting from the eighties. Born in the context of Vjing research, the artist's digital moving paintings spring from radical and instinctive initial gestures, which trigger visual processes of contemplative recursion. The visualized compositions are non-mediated emanations of intuitions that precede conceptualization, approaching magical and technological ritual and revealing visual models that are both intimate and collective at the same time, drawing on primordial memories.

In the dim light of the Romanesque Basilica, the synaesthetic musicality of the moving images enters into a relationship with the transdimensional sound environment composed for the exhibition by the Cortex of Light trio. The exhibition is accompanied by graphics by Maria Chiara Moro, with texts by Piergiorgio Caserini, Niccolò Gravina, xàr num, Greta Sugar.
