class="content__text" The following experiment with generative text-image Ai stems, again, from a succession of connections of thoughts - see the previous post. The idea of 'horizon' expands the limit and projects itself beyond the spatial boundaries of “infinity'. And so, how can I not dedicate a homage to a master of Italian photography who created in 1974 (the year of my birth) ‘Infinito’? "Nulla dies sine linea": No day without a sign: this sentence was widespread in the Middle Ages, the root of which can be found in Plinio, when he recounts that there was no day when the painter Apelles did not practise by drawing a line. Later it was taken up by Paul Klee as a kind of motto and placed, in 1938, as a comment next to his work No. 365. No day without a photo of the sky. Photographer Luigi Ghirri decided to take 365 pictures of the sky. I tried to describe verbally each photo of "Infinito” to an algorithm and let it create an imagined "copy" of each skies photographed by Ghiirri. They are collected, in an automated iteration in the same sequence, number and size as the original masterpiece of photography. I admit I freely added a few sunsets that are almost nonexistent in Infinito.
