Pasolini Being Human is a short film and site-specific video-sound installation generated by a deep neural network. The project pays tribute to film director, poet, writer, and intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini on the centenary of his birth. Using a series of computer vision AI models and a high-performance computing cluster, Pasolini’s face and ‘micro’ facial expressions were generated in an inverted chronological sequence, from adulthood back to childhood, symbolizing both the rebirth of the body and the rediscovery of a shared humanity, themes central to Pasolini’s work. The soundtrack, created in collaboration with designer and musician Paola Faoro, is composed from the hendecasyllabic rhythm and meter of an excerpt from Pasolini’s autobiographical poem La Religione del Mio Tempo (1955–1960). The project was first presented at the 2022 Foiano Book Festival in Tuscany, Italy, in an exhibition curated by Massimo Magurano. It forms part of a broader artistic research initiative with no commercial intent, aimed at re-discovering and re-imagining the past through the contemporary lens of cutting-edge technologies.
