Arcade Reality is a visual artwork exhibited at
Game Stop Italy in Milan as part of the
CYBER DREAMS - THE SUBSTANCE OF DREAMS
art exhibition curated by Holy Club digital art gallery.
In the artwork the computer technology integrates arcade games with virtual reality.
The central female head wearing a VR viewer, opens up to show a display with different game genres: racing, puzzle and fighting. Players are invited from technology to access the virtual world playing with controllers, joystick and machines, as a bridge of connection among past and future.
Dragon Skin is showcased in Tokyo as part of the Anime & Manga World Exhibition,
co-curated by Nox Gallery and Superchief Gallery, starting from January 31st till February 3rd.
The artwork represents a fight scene between a schoolgirl and a Japanese dragon, taking place in an urban landscape with traditional temples. The central robotic head with dragon tattoos opens to reveal a camera observing the characters from above. The artwork itself inspired by the year of the dragon, is a symbol of strength, power and resilience.
Cyborg Dream represents a dream made by a cyborg child who meets technology. The dualism in the coexistence of human and robotic elements is inspired by Japan, the design concept is taken from both ukiyo-e art and the cybernetic universe. In the project the circular shape indicates the repetitiveness of the time loops in which we live, taking up the principle of the Phi phenomenon (φ), which creates the illusion of movement due to the rapid succession of sequences. In the dream, the city is a transition process from the Edo period to the hyper-technology of the future.
Original music by Vincenzo Salvia.
Mind Games is a symmetrical composition that includes an impossible object referring to Penrose double triangle. The artwork represents an endless game we play to fulfill ourselves with tricky thoughts which seem almost impossible to escape from.

Retro Futuristic Utopia - 19?4
Retro Futuristic Utopia - 19?4 - is a futuristic vision that looks to the past, an idealized urban landscape with a deco punk aesthetics. The prototype of the central robotic figure represents the city that builds itself. It’s a tribute to the movie Metropolis (1927). The entire composition is divided into two main buildings: the Chrysler Building and the Paramount Theatre of New York. The theatre's facade is designed in continuity with a part of the Eastern Columbia Building of Los Angeles. Future is unknown, just as the year this imaginary story is set, the 19?4. The mechanical eye checks the entire scene, recalling a dystopic description taken from the book 1984 by George Orwell.
Machines & Gods
Machines & Gods is a visual story of industrial archaeology. This architectural composition contains some landmarks of the Ostiense district of Rome: the Gazometro, the Piramide Cestia, and Ponte dell'Industria. The mechanical elements coexist with the classicism of the historic center, like the Trajan Column, the Temple of Minerva Medica, and the reconstruction of the ancient station of Roma Termini. The artwork shapes technology and gods in a dreamlike projection of the eternal city, repeating itself endlessly in a space-time continuum. Original music by Vincenzo Salvia.
