COSCIENZA INTUITIVA
Federico Fauli
We live in an age where superficial information is progressively simplifying the dynamics of thought and human interaction within society. The erosion of critical thinking encourages conformity, standardization, and an uncritical attitude toward the complexity that surrounds us. COSCIENZA INTUITIVA (INTUITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS) highlights and critiques the poverty of content, language, and meaning in a society increasingly driven by over-accumulation and the constant re-sharing of images.
A reprimand for a process that speculates on social relationships, mediated by the very images and the act of sharing them.
“RETWEET, SHARE, LIKE.”
Powerful social media platforms connect billions of individuals, dominating and homogenizing the planet. Media construct illusions and communicate universal “truths” that conceal falsehoods and contemporary abuses. The image-based society elects idols, builds icons, and mocks its inhabitants, inducing behaviors selected from a limited range of choices—suggesting what to do, what to choose, what to say, and what to think—while promising freedom, success, and happiness.
The INTUITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS project speculates on today’s aesthetic standards, on the process of accumulation, and on the languages that express the fragmentation and acceleration of the current digital era. It develops an open-ended, additive visual language designed to evolve continuously. Mass-consumption products and icons—“artifacts of banality”—merge with ruins and fragments of a decadent architecture still rich in symbolic, historical, and cultural value. The result is a baroque visual clash, detached from harmony of proportions, rooted in an iconography laden with bold formal solutions that integrate classical elements, iconic figures, and products of mass culture—such as toys, memes, and pop references. This fusion—centered around the bearing detail of the column that supports all elements—emphasizes the value of classicism while simultaneously sculpting a precise temporal reminiscence. The aesthetic language of INTUITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS challenges the long-standing dichotomy between beauty and culture; its contaminated baroque becomes both symposium and central reference. A space where architectural languages are not predefined, but rather the direct result of temporal and cultural compromises through the merging of contrasting styles. Driven by a bold critique of a society fatigued by images and pop iconography, INTUITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS generates new forms of beauty—integrating antiquity and modernity, reflecting on the present, and questioning the cultural legacy that contemporary times will pass on to future generations. The exhibition presents virtual sculptures in NFT format alongside their corresponding physical versions: “The Fragmented”, “Coscienza Intuitiva 75”, “Coscienza Intuitiva 100”, and the coin series “David ETH” and “Venus BTC”. Additionally, Federico Fauli, in collaboration with TRIA, has created a hologram of one of his works, “Zecchino”, which will be unveiled for the first time during the INTUITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS exhibition.TRIA is a Holographic Platform for Digital Art, created with the goal of providing artists, digital art enthusiasts, and collectors with a patented holographic display technology—unique in its kind—that allows digital art collections to be converted into holograms, helping to disseminate this new art form in Italy and beyond.
