geometry.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\u201cI am a stone. I repeat: a stone. I know you cannot understand me\u201d \u2014 the opening line of Essere pietra by Italo Calvino holds the essence of the project. Stones carry a temporal value within their material; they keep the memory of their journey.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe ceramic shapes are inspired by Platonic solids, a form known to the Etruscans: excavations on Monte Loffa uncovered man-made dodecahedrons dating to around 500 BC. The ceramics are made to contain stones from Tuscany, grounding the work in the region.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe 13 ceramics are positioned as the geometry of the Fruit of Life \u2014 one of the most potent patterns in sacred geometry, hidden within the Flower of Life. Generative geometries, written in code with AI and digitally mapped, pass fluidly from one stone to the next; watching them transform is akin to a mantra, and conveys unity and interconnectedness.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nShown at the Future Horizon gathering, Tuscany, 22\u201326 July 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fb-credits\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fb-credits__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading fb-sub\">Interview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPortal of Memory is a project where ancient and contemporary worlds coalesce. Etruscan sacred geometries form the backbone of the installation, embodying timeless principles of order and harmony found in nature. Through the magic of contemporary digital mapping, I project generative art visuals onto ceramic pieces, crafting a dynamic, kaleidoscopic experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTechnology allows me to create visuals that showcase how from a simple circle, we can generate complex shapes inspired by sacred geometries such as the Seed of Life and the Fibonacci sequence. Observing the shapes transforming is akin to a mantra, fostering a meditative state. The geometries, mapped across 13 stones, convey unity and interconnectedness, fluidly passing from one stone to another, emphasizing the seamless flow of existence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe AI-generated video component acts as a living extension of the physical ceramic pieces, which I refer to as \u2018stones.\u2019 The video projections, created using generative art software that interacts with stable diffusion, transform these static objects into dynamic entities. This interplay between the tangible and the digital encapsulates the project\u2019s essence \u2014 melding the historic with the futuristic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy engagement with the metaverse and web3 technologies has always been about exploring new dimensions of collective experience and consciousness. Portal of Memory extends this exploration by creating a space where ancient wisdom and modern technology converge, inviting participants to connect on a deeper, more subconscious level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn Portal of Memory, time, perception, and parallel universes are expressed through the juxtaposition of ancient materials and contemporary digital art. The ceramic pieces symbolize a static, historical timeline, while the ever-changing digital projections represent the fluidity and multiplicity of perception and memory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI hope attendees leave with a heightened sense of connection to both their personal and collective histories. The realization that memory and consciousness transcend individual existence is a key takeaway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy vision of a symbiotic future envisions a world where technology and nature exist together in perfect harmony, each enhancing the other rather than causing any detriment. This ideal future sees digital advancements as tools that not only preserve but also celebrate our cultural heritage, fostering a richer understanding of our collective human experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interview for Future Horizon \u2014 a global community with a shared vision: to create the regenerative future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A project that blends the ancient with the contemporary: ceramic pieces serving as canvases for generative geometry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5248,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fsmb_year":"2024","fsmb_venue":"Ceramics and generative projection","fsmb_medium":"Ceramic pieces with mapped generative geometry","fsmb_collection":"","fsmb_exhibition":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,98,94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-digital","category-objects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5206"}],"version-history":[{"count":35,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7339,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5206\/revisions\/7339"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
