New Unoptimised
Generation Machine
2023
A New Unoptimised Generation Machine built by Andrea Martinucci is constructed from daily dialogue with technological machinery systems. Very Personal, Intuitive and Scalable, the machine is composed of a platform titled [28042023_Sit with me], one drawing, three paintings and a Performance in collaboration with Aurelio Di Virgilio. The fragmented and decentralised machine generates lateral narrative. This first model is displayed on the floor as an open shell which recalls the standard proportions of a sheet for visitors to walk, sit, people watch, forget, and obsess over it.
