Humanity & AI. The theme of this conference focuses on how to preserve the human complexity, with Generative Art and AI.

1. Art, poetry, music, architecture, and historic cities need generative ideas for their adaptation to the deep new demands of our fast-changing time.

2. Our field of interest is to identify these possibilities and relate the most advanced creative approaches of Generative Art and AI. This is why the 27th Conference on Generative Art is supported by the Italian National Commission for UNESCO and hosted by the UNESCO Regional Office for Science and Culture in Europe.

3. We will be happy to present your generative approach. This can be done through generative ideas that could safeguard specific identities of Art, Nature, Environments and History.

Art&Science - Generative AI - Image&Space - Music&Poetry - Visionary Scenarios - Infinity&Identity
After 26 years of GA conferences, the generative and AI approaches are finally running in our everyday lives. So we will be happy if we will discuss this.
This year the conference will run not only in presence and we will try to plan also an exhibition of your artworks in a GA metaverse. A session of Voices of poetry will run during the persormance session. (http://generativeworld.it).

Dear Friends of Generative Art,
We are at the 27th Generative Art Conferences and I would like to thank all the participants in the past editions coming from many different countries of all continents because they have succeeded in supporting GA as the worldwide reference conference in the sector of the generative approach. This with their interesting contributions that were not only academic papers but work in progress able to define the real state of the art of Generative Thinking.
Not only, the discussions, the exchanges of experience, and the working together for reaching advanced possibilities was also the unique feeling of these meetings.
This year we will meet in Venice, at UNESCO, and we will focus our papers on the Ideas for beauty surviving and we hope that you will present the advanced ideas for using at the best your generative approach.

Generative Art performs the idea as a process. Moving the creativity from Objects/Events to Codes, GA builds the contemporary complex natural/artificial environment. Generative Algorithms and Transforming Rules realize, as natural DNA does, always different and unpredictable series of events, artworks, industrial objects, architectures, music, environment, communications, software, and hardware devices, all recognizable by each generative creative concept.
Generative Art is identifiable as one of the most advanced approaches in the creative and design world. It performs the incoming new naturality of the artificial world. Generative Projects, Morphogenetic Design, Evolutionary Systems can design the species of incoming events, their identity in progress, the recognizability of each possibly generated object, the complexity of the contemporary world, spaces, communications, and music.
In Architecture GA can increase the identity and uniqueness of each city, performing generative codes that can be used in designing the incoming transforming paths of each town.
In Industrial Product Design GA performs the relation between intelligent industrial production and advanced design ideas of new naturality.
In In Visual Art, Literature and Music GA opens a new era of reproducibility of artworks. From clone to unique and un-repeatable sequence of possible final results.
The generative approach represents the way to carry out the idea as a product, and not only the artifact-product-piece as the unique representation of the idea.

Generative Art Conference is a meeting place to exchange ideas, theoretical approaches, operative, and teaching experiences, and to value the innovative field of intelligent industrial production and business that belongs to the Generative approach.
Following last years' experience, people can show their innovative works in the concurrent GA Performance Festival that will be held on the evening of the same days of the conference. This will be an opportunity to show and enjoy the most advanced mix of generative entertainment media.
The PROCEEDINGS will be published in a (paper) book (with ISBN  international number) before the conference. The book will contain the (double-reviewed) papers, posters, artwork, and performances/presentations. So the proceedings will be available in time for the conference.  More, the best-focused contributions will be also published in the journal GASATHJ, Generative Art Science and Technology hard Journal (https://www.gasathj.com) after a selection and review for upgrading the papers into a multimedia article fitting the character of the Journal.     
- Early submitting, if requested, could be accepted in 15 days to obtain a letter of invitation usable to fund applications.
- No funds are available from the GA2023 organization.
- conference participants will pay a registration fee for covering the conference expenses, lunches, proceedings paper book with ISBN international code and conference dinner.
- To ensure a high-quality conference, all abstracts and papers will be reviewed by the Conference Chair and by the scientific Committee.
- The proceedings of GA2023 will be printed in advance in a (paper) book with ISBN number, published before the conference, for having the support to the conference. - All papers and presented contribution will be also published on the website www.generativeart.com
- Selected contributions will be asked to perform a multimedia article to be published (for free) in the next issue of the Journal GASATHj, https://www.gasathj.com

Juror’s Statement

It was a pleasure to be this year’s Juror for the MFA’s Winter Member Show and review a wide range of submissions from talented artists working in various mediums. The selection process was difficult as the quality of the work was consistently high, making it challenging to narrow down the selection to a cohesive and compelling show.

Over 300 works were submitted and I was particularly struck by the diversity of styles and subjects. All combined, this number represents countless hours of hard work and creative exploration which produced so many stunning pieces. The final result is a show of 55 unique works that I hope showcases the vast range of artistic talent within the MFA membership.

I chose pieces that demonstrate a strong command of the medium, a unique perspective, and a clear artistic vision. I was particularly drawn to work that contained a conflict or visual effect that complimented the artist’s vision. A visual effect can be any number of qualities such as a bold or smoothly applied brushmark, or the experimental play of scale, textures, colors and lighting. My final selections were based on what I perceived as the idea being communicated in the work and how the effect was used to give it life. My intention was to choose a broad range of subjects and approaches and highlight work that best engages with the viewer in concept as well as the medium – hopefully sparking a dialogue between the art and the viewer.

One of the things that I love most about this show is the way it highlights the MFA membership. From traditional mediums like painting and drawing to more experimental forms like digital art and mixed media. I am honored to have played a role in selecting the works for this show and I can’t wait for you to see the work on display at The Circle Gallery.

Generative Art is the idea realized as a genetic code of artificial events, as the construction of dynamic complex systems able to generate endless variations.
Each Generative Project is a concept-software that works producing unique and non-repeatable events, like music, images, or 3D Objects, as possible and manifold expressions of the generating idea strongly recognizable as a vision belonging to an artist/designer/musician/architect/mathematician. The generative Idea / human-creative-act makes an unpredictable, amazing, and endless expansion of human creativity. We can create species of events with a recognizable identity, following our vision. Computers are simply tools for storage in memory and execution.
This approach opens a new era in Art, Design, and Composition: the challenge is a new naturalness of the artificial event as a mirror of Nature. Variations, like in Bach music, are the best strong communication of the Idea. Once more man emulates Nature, as in the act of making art.
This approach suddenly opened the possibility to rediscover possible fields of human creativity that would be unthinkable without computer tools. If these tools, at the beginning of the computer era, seemed to extinguish human creativity, today, with the generative approach, directly operates on codes of Harmony and codes of Identity. They become tools that open new fields and enhance our understanding of creativity as an indissoluble synthesis between art and science.
After two hundred years of the old industrial era of necessarily cloned objects, music, architectures, communications the one-of-a-kind object becomes an essential answer to emergent contemporary aesthetical needs.

Davide Prete and Sergio Picozzi will present the paper: Generative Design of Lattice Structures for 3D Printed Sculptures and Davide will present his latest sculpture.

19 artists and 6 poets explore the theme of UDC Unsettled presenting their unique vision of the city.

The show open to all artistic discipline includes paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, jewelry and poetry.

My sculpture Soundwave Art Park was selected for inclusion in this exhibition. It was also a recipient of an ' Honorable Mention Award'.

For this exhibition Las Laguna Art Gallery asked artists working in Digital Art, Collage or Assemblage to submit their works.

For Digital art, artists may use software like Photoshop, Procreate, Corel Painter, or other tools to manipulate images to create paintings, drawings or pictures.

Collage works submitted to this show used traditional magazine and newspaper clippings, photographs, ribbons, paints, found objects, bits of colored or handmade papers; and some of the collages were made digitally using a wide variety of digital tools.

Other artists submitted Assemblage. Assemblages are a 3-dimensional variant of the collage with elements jutting in or out of a defined substrate, or an entirely 3-D arrangement of objects and/or sculptures.

My 3D printed sculpture “Adam’s Hand” was selected for the show.
