/ (in)HUMAN

    Evolving through the good side of mistakes and bypassing uncertainties and chaos, MiTch creates a body of provocative and stylistically hybrid works that translates social tensions and contradictions. Those spontaneous and introspective messages are based on the concept of “thinking aloud”, a creative journey that invites you to benefit from conditions of disorder, taking advantage of the intellectual stimuli generated.
He doesn’t provide indications, but he suggests reflections, bringing out the one who interacts with the provocations of his artworks, conceived as a demythologization of everyday life that deals with the social nature of the human individual. By questioning him.

(in)HUMAN is a complicated project - containing 33 faces - whereby MiTch invites you to immerse yourself in a dream-like but possible world; imagine the purpose of souls to merge, assuming human appearance.

What would inspire them if they could only see and incarnate our soul?
It's likely that our emotions will transform into our distinctive trait; the artifice, whereby we hide everything that by convention we cannot reveal: lost, wrapped in worries and torn by the future that evolves towards uncertainty and scratched by selfishness disguised in altruism. This would reflect the (in)human’s skin.
Devastated, but fascinating with their big eyes capable of digging inside, sincere and full of that soul that we are abandoning because engaged in the ephemeral search for perfection only aesthetic.

A journey that is dreamlike, but achievable with the aid of artificial intelligence.

The (in)Human were generated from scratch through a language written on OpenAI DALL-E2 and Stable Diffusion. They are therefore the result of an artificial intelligence that recombines an infinite archive of images and following a set of textual instructions provided by MiTch, as the prompter, continually perfecting the text before evolving the goal.
An experimental process with which the artist wanted to immerse himself in AI, and to which he had to recognize the infinite potential of the creation of new forms of culture and knowledge, that never before man could have imagined. What Laurenzana proposes is not an artistically perfect search, but an advanced method that conveys this message that each one of us expects to receive to awaken with consciousness.

    In the eyes of (in)Human, the glimmer of this process.
