The Museum of Artificial Art, Exploring how human and synthetic visions intertwine in the collective memory of our time.

On November 14, 2025, MoAa will open its inaugural exhibition at Via Maggio 60r, Florence, with a opening reception followed by artist panel discussions and dynamic conversations with theorists on November 15.
The show unites 12 international artists who work at the intersection of AI, identity, and digital consciousness—including Joy Fennell, Dai, Maddy Minnis, Laura Buechner, Parallel.fbx, and others—each contributing to a collective reflection on how memory, perception, and imagination evolve in the post-human era.
Curated by MoAa, I Miei Ricordi examines the blurred line between human recollection and AI states of consciousness. The exhibition asks a deeply poetic question: who dreams, and who remembers? Across surreal portraits, algorithmic hallucinations, and speculative landscapes, AI becomes a co-author of visual culture—hallucinating new worlds, reframing collective memory, and rewriting visual history through digital collaboration.

The show unfolds both in person and online, extending into a virtual exhibition hosted on moaa.shop, positioning Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, as the stage for a new cultural paradigm of vision and imagination.

Through this debut, MoAa not only inaugurates its physical presence but also marks a defining moment for the institutional recognition of AI art within contemporary practice.

I Miei Ricordi signals the beginning of an expanded dialogue—between artists and algorithms, memory and machine, history and hallucination.

I Miei Ricordi opens November 14th, 2025 — online (moaa.shop) and in-person in Florence, Italy.Opening reception: Nov 14th 18:00 - 20:00 Gallery Tour and Artist Panel Discussions: Nov 15th 14:00-15:30

Are we teaching AI to see, or is AI teaching us to dream?

In a world where machines are increasingly capable of creating, one question looms larger than all others: Are we teaching AI to see, or is AI teaching us to dream? This is not merely a philosophical musing, it is a direct challenge to our understanding of creativity itself. As artificial intelligence evolves, it forces us to reconsider the boundaries between human imagination and technological possibility.

Generative AI, which can now produce entire worlds from a few typed words, asks us to confront an uncomfortable paradox: is the artist still the creator, or has the machine become an equal partner in the act of creation? The Museum of Artificial Art (MoAa) describes AI as a “site of resistance, speculation, and cultural imagination,” suggesting that this collaboration between human and machine is no longer just a technical process, it’s a new way of seeing, a new way of dreaming.
And as we stand at this crossroads, we must ask ourselves: who is really doing the dreaming? The answer may be more complex than we think.
