The project Talking to the Sky is composed of a group of images each made by an Open AI - Artificial Intelligence, capable of analyzing and understanding words and texts written by human beings. They are reworked into images using very complex and ambiguous algorithms in order to create a photograph of people who do not exist but who seem real using data present on the internet. The project contains close-up faces of people intent on communicating with the sky in the form of prayer. An intimate moment that brings out different types of emotion on the faces: dismay, pain, anger, hope and so on. The project is a manifestation of the invisible on two distinct levels, the cultural one, as a prayer and the technological one, as its representation. The desire for redemption and understanding is manifested through the eyes of these faces, which try to peer into the sky at someone or something above them.
