On the occasion of Synestetica, a contemporary art review organized by Atelier Montez (Rome, Pietralata area) on October 18 my new solo exhibition entitled 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐨 𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐨, a project that will display the most significant projects of the last few years, will be presented.
The title *”I copy, therefore I am “* echoes the idea that copying and imitation are the basis of both the human and machine creative process. Like children’s learning by copying, AI evolves by imitating and perfecting what it learns. Grillo explores how, through reproduction, art and technology intersect to create new forms of identity.
Exhibited works:
ITUBE
is a conceptual project that examines the issue of copying and representation in the digital age, investigating the confrontation between artificial intelligence and art in terms of imitation and authenticity.

Genetic Portraits
Generation of frames that a genetic algorithm processes to reproduce the artist’s photographic self-portrait. This work explores the creation of identity through digital reproduction, questioning the concept of individuality and representation.
Artist Rock
A real stone is displayed next to its exact copy, created using 3D scanning and printing techniques. This installation reflects on reproducibility and authenticity, highlighting the relationship between original and duplicate in contemporary art.
Dancer with Cymbals in Red
