Crafting magnificience x BVLGARI
In a innovative collaboration with Bulgari, we embarked on an ambitious project titled “Crafting Magnificence.” The challenge was set to create three digital 3D artworks, pushing the boundaries of resolution and immersing visitors in an unparalleled visual experience.
Inspired by Bulgari’s new creations, each artwork was meticulously crafted as a window, inviting visitors to peer into extraordinary realms. Through these digital windows, guests were given the opportunity to explore and interact with the artworks, unveiling a world of intricate details and captivating hidden treasures.
The essence of this unique exhibition lied in the second part of the experience, where an innovative fusion of Artificial Intelligence and emotion-capturing technology took center stage. As visitors engaged with the artworks, a device measured their individual brain data and emotions throughout the entire journey. This data, paired with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence, empowered participants to create their very own personalized “window.”
“Crafting Magnificence” truly transcended the conventional boundaries of art and technology, providing a captivating experience where visitors became co-creators of their own unique artworks. It was a celebration of individuality, inviting each person to design their window to the world, mirroring their inner emotional landscape.
Through this collaboration with Bulgari, the project aimed to break new ground in digital art and emotional connectivity, a profound celebration of creativity, human expression, and the symbiotic relationship between art and technology.

The 3 digital artworks were commissioned by Bulgari.
Each artwork is designed as a window, a common motif of the artist, inspired by three new Bulgari creations.
Visitors to the exhibit can explore and interact with the digital creations and discover an incredible level of detail and hidden worlds within them.
- The artworks were produced by using the computational power of 200 computer nodes working together.
- The distance between pixels of each artwork in the monitors is about 3 times smaller than the average size of a human cell.
- The largest-resolution CGI digital artwork to date
The Eternal Muse is a digital artwork commissioned from Bulgari to the artist Giuseppe Lo Schiavo that depicts an open window showcasing a classical Roman gallery that merges history, nature, and art in eternal harmony.
With a resolution of 100,000 x 100,000 pixels for a total of 10 billion pixels, the artwork is the highest resolution CGI artwork ever created to date, generated using 200 computer nodes.
You can explore and navigate into the massive resolution of the artwork and immerse yourself in the beauty and creativity that lie within.
The Birthplace of Serpenti is a captivating artwork that embodies the artist’s imaginative interpretation of the origins of Bulgari’s Yellow Diamond Hypnosis Serpenti necklace.
With a resolution of 100,000 x 100,000 pixels for a total of 10 billion pixels, the artwork is the highest resolution CGI artwork ever created to date, generated using 200 computer nodes.

Southern Gateway draws inspiration from Bulgari’s Southern Radiance creation and features an open window, a signature motif of the artist Giuseppe Lo Schiavo, through which we are transported to a metaphysical landscape. The window serves as a metaphor for an opening into the artist’s mind, manifesting a new ideal landscape of vivid imagination and creativity.
The highest resolution CGI artwork ever created to date, it boasts an impressive 100,000 x 100,000 pixels for a total of 10 billion pixels and was generated using 200 computer nodes.

Wearable technology played a significant role in the Crafting Magnificence exhibit. During the experience, visitors had the opportunity to interact with digital creations using cutting-edge devices that measure emotions and individual brain data. These wearables allowed us to create an immersive exhibition, tailoring the experience to each visitor’s unique emotional responses and brain activity.
The incorporation of a neuro device enabled visitors to engage with the digital artworks on a deeper level and also to create their own.
It allowed us to craft an experience that resonated with each person’s emotions, forging a connection between the audience and the art in a way that had not been explored before.

The curatorship of the generative AI artworks is also by Giuseppe Lo Schiavo.
