Arte riprogrammata


Arte riprogrammata is my master’s thesis and project that aims to digitize the artworks from the 1962 exhibition Arte programmata. Arte cinetica, opere moltiplicate, opera aperta (Programmed art. Kinetic art, multiplied works, open work).

Because of the stochastic processes involved, which cannot be digitized using conventional image/video methods, the artworks have been digitized through coding.
