Interview: . Cesare Catania: “At the Venice Biennale this year I presented a Phygital artwork entitled “The Embrace”. In reality it is a physical sculpture from 2023 and in 2024 it was reworked digitally. In practice, people in front of the work of art, thanks to artificial intelligence and augmented reality, can somehow communicate with the work and interact with it. Let's say that physical art satisfies the artist most precisely from a tactile point of view. In fact, when I produce a physical sculpture I certainly have a satisfaction, a fulfillment in the moment of production, but in my opinion there is a limit linked to the usability of the work and how the work is perceived by the public. Today all this technology probably also accelerates learning processes. On the one hand, however, it freezes emotional processes. Hence the idea of combining a physical work of art with a digital work of art in augmented reality seemed like the best idea to make the use of the work of art more universal, more democratic. And this, in my opinion, is precisely the true meaning of Phygital Artwork: a Work of Art that in some way enters people's hearts by combining physical reality and digital reality. Technology and artificial intelligence certainly have a fundamental role, especially in the enjoyment part, in the sense that the physical work of art can be more easily disseminated through digital art, artificial intelligence and technology can, in some way, be more easily learned by the public. When you create a physical work of art intended as a sculpture, you then have to make choices, even simply based on the force of gravity, in the sense that not everything that comes to mind fits on…"

Io preferisco l'arte vecchio stampo e ritengo che un quadro, una scultura un opera siano in grado di esprimere la loro potenza e di emozionare integralmente quando queste opere sono fisiche. Tuttavia capisco e condivido che l'AI, la realtà aumentata è la digitalizzazione diano la possibilità di avere un audience più importante è una maggiore fruibilità dell'opera. La mia domanda è se la percezione dell'opera digitale, da parte di un audience allargata, è equiparabile a quella di un opera fisica vista dal vivo. Quali emozioni o percezione, un opera digitale è in grado di trasmettere intendo? Complimenti per il tuo lavoro e talento Cesare. Seguo il tuo lavoro con molto Interesse.
