In Milan, the dialogue between ancient art and digital language comes to life inside Palazzo Citterio, where the Pinacoteca di Brera and the National Museum of Digital Art continue their program exploring the encounter between heritage and new technologies. On the ground floor, a monumental LED wall hosts a video installation that reinterprets the Baroque ceiling of Rome’s Church of the Gesù through complex algorithms. The work deconstructs and recomposes chromatic and geometric codes in a continuous flow of metamorphosis: the original fresco dissolves into abstract patterns, generating a new, non-human aesthetic. Tradition and computation meet on a surface that becomes a palimpsest, where the past is no longer a fixed icon but living matter capable of revealing layers invisible to the human eye. Recognized as one of the leading figures in international digital art, Quayola invites viewers to read cultural heritage as an open field of infinite visual genealogies. Here, beauty lies in instability, in the possibility for each era to rewrite its own memory through the lens of technology.
