AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A figurine of a Basset Hound resting and relaxing with its paws in the air. A unique piece, hand-modeled in stoneware and finished with a clear glaze.
The figurine is created using solid modeling (with no hollow spaces). A solid piece has a higher specific weight and is generally more resistant to direct impacts. The object is composed entirely of compact stoneware, from the core to the surface.
height: 5 cm
width: 8 cm
depth: 20 cm

bio:
Diego Randazzo (Milan, 1984) divides his time between Milan and Belluno. He completed his secondary education at the Brera Art High School and earned a degree in Cultural Heritage Studies from the University of Milan, with a thesis on the fundamentals of directing. His work, which spans various media, focuses on key themes in visual culture: the experience of the image—encompassing its emotional, evocative, anthropological, and social dimensions; the mechanisms of looking, which often become both the object and subject of the artwork; media archaeology—understood as an investigation into the technological origins of the modern and contemporary gaze, specifically the "machine gaze" updated to reflect the latest innovations (from algorithms to "operative images"); the narrative dimension; and the sense of immersion—or, conversely, the estrangement—produced by the relationship with the medium. His works are held in both public and private collections. A finalist for numerous contemporary art awards (including the Gifer Festival, Premio Cramum, Arte Laguna, Combat Prize, Premio Ora, and Arteam Cup), he won the Yicca Art Prize in 2023 and received a Jury Mention at Insideart Magazine’s Talent Prize. In 2024, his installation *#KIDS*—a tribute to the tragedy of the "Little Martyrs of Gorla" and a permanent work at Milan’s Casa della Memoria—was included in the public art mapping project conducted by the Mudec museum in Milan. He began exploring issues surrounding algorithms as early as 2020 with the project *Immagini Simili* (curated by Bianca Trevisan at the ADD-art Gallery) and continues to do so today, investigating AI as a tool for both visual research and social inquiry.
Seller's Story
Always curious and passionate about images and moving pictures, my approach over the years has sharpened into an undefinable vision, because it is precisely positioning at the borders of categories (disciplines/languages) that quality by which one stands out. But in a world made of nomenclatures, classifications and genres I can try to define my interests in the following threads:
– The languages (cinema, painting, photography) and their subversion, often denouncing their elusiveness, their corruptibility, their transversality. I always place myself within a theoretical and technical reflection on their status.
– Fiction, the false, the enigma, the subliminal and the unspoken in a refined search for non-linear storytelling, made of details and synecdoche.
– Comparison and affinities between Images of different natures (cinematic, painting and photographic) often juxtaposed to form groups and multitude.
– Excavation in memory, understood both as collective memory (told through testimonies as in the work #KIDS at Casa della Memoria in Milan) and as an archive of intimate and personal memories.
– Play: understood as play between languages, between image and word (the use of phrases and quotes created with AI) and between juxtaposed images that hint at an ironic and playful interweaving.
– Technology and the entire technological apparatus always linked to an analogic development and conception.
– Time: realized through a deep reflection on the moving image, in the idea of sequence and concatenations of events and disparate subjects.
