Andreaelisa Sausa (2001, Padua) and Giada Tonni (2002, Rome) are two young artists and students of the three-year Multimedia and Technological Arts course at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.

Andreaelisa Sausa focuses her research on interaction understood in the broadest sense of the term: the way in which art is created wants to be the work itself, therefore, interaction can take place in the conception and creation phase or in the of use of the work. Giada Tonni works on the mix of multiple languages – multimedia or analogue – which in her works are not simply usufruct of each other, but from time to time they give life to a dialogue that makes them appear in a natural synergy with each other.

During their academic journey, guided and accompanied by Professor Chiara Passa, curator of this exhibition, they realized that, despite their differences in style, representation and methodology of expression, one thing united them: the union of different worlds, from on the one hand those told by the human mind, on the other a potential formal union.

From here they begin to think about how the History of Art could be told in a different way. What would have happened if Botticelli had had the opportunity to use Artificial Intelligence? How can a work of art be deconstructed and told only using aesthetics? In how many ways does technology allow us to visualize the same image?

Questions whose answer allows Sausa and Tonni to create Botticelli according to DALL-E, a set of six different videos composed in pairs, in which each one represents two methods of decomposition of the same image made using different software and with the help of 'Artificial intelligence.

Botticelli according to DALL-E is a work that builds a new type of visual narration, which creates a dialogue between the Italian culture of the Renaissance, the contemporary one of Generative Art and the increasingly discussed vision of Artificial Intelligence. Edited together, they develop a script capable of breaking down and assembling hundreds of years of Art History.
