🥁 Il 30 marzo verrà inaugurata la mostra “Lives Carved in Code. AI Rendered Egyptian Artifacts Across Time”, organizzata da Sarah Abdoh, Professore associato presso il "Sculpture, Architectural Formation and Restoration Department", Faculty of Applied Arts, BU, Egitto.

✨ La mostra esplora l’intersezione tra il patrimonio dell’antico Egitto e la creazione digitale contemporanea. Attraverso repliche 3D generate con l’intelligenza artificiale, riporta in vita oggetti che un tempo facevano parte del mondo quotidiano e rituale di faraoni, nobili e persone comuni.

🏺 Ogni manufatto, ricostruito nello spazio digitale, diventa memoria del passato e al tempo stesso interroga la natura dell’autenticità, della memoria e della materialità, invitando a riflettere su come la storia possa essere conservata, interpretata e reimmaginata.

📌 Vi aspettiamo il 30 marzo alle ore 12:00 a Palazzo Ingrassia in aula Vincenzo La Rosa e a seguire presso il MAUC (Museo di Archeologia dell’Università di Catania), Via Biblioteca 4, Catania.

🥁 On March 30, the exhibition “Lives Carved in Code: AI Rendered Egyptian Artifacts Across Time” will be inaugurated. The exhibition is organized by Sarah Abdoh, Associate Professor in the Department of Sculpture, Architectural Formation and Restoration at the Faculty of Applied Arts, BU, Egypt.

✨ The exhibition explores the intersection of ancient Egyptian heritage and contemporary digital creation. Through AI generated 3D replicas, it brings to life objects that once shaped the daily and ritual worlds of pharaohs, nobles, and common people alike.

🏺 Each artifact, reconstructed in digital space, becomes both a remembrance of the past while at the same time questioning the nature of authenticity, memory, and materiality, inviting reflection on how history can be preserved, interpreted, and reimagined.

📌 We look forward to seeing you on March 30 at 12:00 PM at Palazzo Ingrassia, in the Vincenzo La Rosa lecture hall, and afterwards at the MAUC (Museum of Archaeology of the University of Catania), Via Biblioteca 4, Catania.
