And We Thought

I worked as a production manager for And We Thought, a multi-year project by artist Roberto Fassone, Sineglossa and Ai Lai, an artificial intelligence specifically developed and trained to write psychedelic stories.

Through a series of workshops and experimentations an archive of such stories was created, which have been gathered together in a publication published by Roi de Coupe which I curated and edited.

Key sentences and excerpts from the texts became prompts for the making of a diverse body of works, including posters, music albums, video-performances and a film trilogy, exploring the multiple entanglements between human imagination, psychedelia, writing and artificial intelligence.

And We Thought is a project by Roberto Fassone, produced and curated by Sineglossa.

Various iterations of the project have been hosted by Combo Torino, Ars Electronica Festival, Alchemilla and Istituzione Bologna Musei | Mambo – Museo d’arte Moderna di Bologna, Université du Luxembourg / Nuit de la Culture, Villa Reale di Monza.
