Alessandro Scali conducts artistic research as experimental philosophy. For over twenty years, his practice has continuously operated at the intersection of media archaeology, hard sciences, and artificial intelligence, functioning as an active, open-ended laboratory.

​

His evolving body of work is structured around the conceptual framework of the Anthropoperiphery: an ongoing program of experimental investigations designed to test, decenter, and challenge the limits of human sovereignty in perception, cultural memory, digital representation, and cognitive judgment.

​

Rather than focusing on a centralized personal signature, Scali’s research manifests through autonomous platforms and creative heteronyms, ranging from physically invisible Nanoart created with the Politecnico di Torino, to tactile pre-cinematic devices like the Giphoscope, the digital glitch-art of Van Glitch, and the independent AI curatorial agent Catherine Gipton.

​

Today, his practice is widely validated by leading global scientific, academic, and cultural institutions, spanning from Nature, Advanced Materials, and Carnegie Mellon University (MoonArk Project), to official inclusion in academic literature by Routledge, Duke University Press, Bloomsbury Academic, and exhibitions at the Serlachius Museum, LACDA Los Angeles and the Biennale of Seville.
