Samori’s paintings, like so many portraits of Dorian Gray, remind us that technological advancements enable seemingly intractable axioms—political, social, personal—to be rewritten, and that nothing, not even history, remains eternally fixed.
Nicola Samorì’s first solo exhibition at Nicodim, titled “Blend the Blind,” runs until March 16 in New York. Samorì, an Italian artist born in 1977, has long been fascinated by the aesthetic and conceptual layers of ancient art. His latest body of work takes this fascination to new heights, employing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to mediate and manipulate classical art motifs with modern visual data. Encapsulated by the function ‘Blend,’ this process allows for the instantaneous fusion of iconic art historical images with diverse visual elements, creating complex and innovative compositions.

What exactly happens during an out-of-body experience? Do our souls transcend, while our bodies linger in this world? The group exhibition ‘Disembodied’ attempts to explore this subject, presenting a diverse range of sophisticated works exuding ecstasy and sensuality. One risks getting lost in this parallel universe, but is guided through darkness and the unknown by the wise visions of these artists.
