DNAi - New Life

"DNAi - New Life" emerges as a collaborative inspired work by artist Dom Barra and sound designer Guido Molea, seamlessly blending human creativity with artificial intelligence. 

In a private laboratory of a near future, a new generation of humans is gestating. Artificial Intelligence and the latest generation of robotics, after cloning the human mind, invade its body. Biomechanical, synthetic, dynamic, measured, immortal individuals, transplanted circuits, autonomous brain interfaces, networks of neurotransmitters, differentiated electrochemical synapses, enhanced sequential chains of nucleic acids, crystallized amniotic fluid, genetic code cosmetic surgery, cybernetic grafts, cellular contaminations, vital signal interferences, identity metamorphoses. People mutate their bodies and minds to better adapt to the chaos of every current and future present, constantly fearing not being perfect and competitive enough in an ideal and imperfect society always continuously updating where new technologies threaten to replace the human being in its faculties making it obsolete. A new DNAi. A new life.


This video pushes the impact of new technologies on human life to the extreme, inviting the audience to a dialogue about a possible dystopian future starting from a single truth: the imperfection of human life and society. 

DNAi - New Life (2024) is a glitch art video composition created by combining various images sourced from the internet and latent space (AI). The glitches were generated forcing software to compute altered data in digital file formats with the technique known as Databending. The compositing was made in After Effects, and the post-production in Premiere Pro. The audio was created by Italian sound designer Guido Molea using AI. The creation of this work required the creative synergy of Artificial Intelligence and Artistic Intelligence.
