The Gift of the Gods Exhibition

@ Nanjing Oriental Metropolitan Museum

On July 26th the Oriental Metropolitan Museum, in Nanjing, China and on December 9th in Guangzhou unveiled an exhibition titled “The Gift of the Gods.”

This exhibit presents an extensive array of artifacts from Apulia, Italy including intricately painted ceramics, sculptures, paintings, terracotta pieces and exquisite gold craftsmanship. It draws viewers in with its link between civilizations and modern times.

A Fusion of Innovation and Heritage

Commisioned by Janet Hong from Shenzhen PLD Marketing Planning, this project embarked us on an exploration of the significance of dance in Greek culture. More than performance, dance was an expression deeply woven into the fabric of Greek society, a reflection of the spirit of the time.

At the heart of this initiative lies the Infinity Room by Blending Pixels.

The installation conceived Roberto Santoro crafts an interaction between the past and the present through a clever blend of mirrors, video projection, and computer graphics intertwined with a custom-trained AI generative model.

Choreographed by Vito Cassano and brought to life through the melodies of Kyotolp and Rome in Reverse, the installation encapsulates the essence of ancient Greek dance, interpreted by the Apulian dancers Francesco Lacatena and Grazia Micoli.

It reflects the movement of the spirit, navigating from the past times of Hellenic culture to the contemporary epoch.

An Invitation to Discovery

The AI Digital Dance – Infinity Room is more than an art installation. It is an invitation to explore the enduring legacy of ancient Greek culture, celebrating the universality of dance as a medium that bridges time and space. It prompts a reflection on our shared heritage, evoking a sense of connection that spans continents and centuries.
