Visualize the improbable | Season Trends

“What would the Sagrada Familia look like if it was finished? Imagine a full circle Colosseum (…) visualize the improbable”.                                                                                                                                          Studio Drift

In Visualize the improbable the new multimedia codes of contemporary art design drone displays in the sky, imagining to reconstruct incomplete monuments using light. As if to cancel out the distance between remote history and an often unsettling virtual world, venerable architectural constructions, destroyed or unfinished, are completed through sophisticated light prothesis. Modern digital language and memories of the past come together. Technology becomes a positive presence, hence, light. It turns into something that can reconstruct and recompose what is missing, makes the improbable visible, a simultaneously constructive and visionary element. Futuristic exhibition spaces house archaic vases and Etruscan canopic jars. Centuries-old works reacquire their missing parts thanks to 3D prints, gaining new aesthetic but also functional value. Statues created using artificial intelligence recall distorted remnants of classical vestiges. Video mapping and light projections create patterns and holograms on the façades of cathedrals and buildings but also on clothes, creating illusory movements in the fabric draping. Contrasts and plays of shadows provide the backdrop for happy marriages of the antique and the contemporary.
