il papa col strozzapreti

il papa col strozzapreti presents an exploration of the ethical quandaries surrounding data collection for the training of artificial intelligence models. Employing a range of evocative imagery, including the striking figure of the Pope consuming strozzapreti, or "the priest strangler," pasta, the series delves deeply into the complex considerations surrounding the creation of AI.

At the heart of this body of work lies an interrogation of the human cost of technological advancement. The Pope's imposing presence embodies the powerful institutions and individuals driving the development of AI, while the peasants toiling in the fields and women working tirelessly to prepare pasta underscore the marginalization of communities and individuals whose data is being used without their knowledge or consent.

The series also addresses the question of power and control, with the Pope serving as a potent symbol of authority and domination. The consumption of strozzapreti pasta, traditionally a test of humility, becomes a metaphor for the way data is collected and used to train AI models without consent or understanding.

The use of varied styles throughout the series reinforces the complexity of the subject matter at hand. Abstract and surreal paintings highlight the abstract nature of the ethical issues surrounding AI development, while classical paintings ground the work in reality, emphasizing the tangible consequences these issues can have on individuals and communities.
