The Veil of Senses

The Veil of Senses

2026

Dante Balbo’s poetic phrasing invites us to imagine the world as he – blind from birth – experiences it. His gentle voice guides us through the undulating dance of light and sound vibrations that populate his mental images. Could it be that we, who think we see everything, actually perceive only a grain of sand in the vastness of the infinite landscape?

Manual of Self-Destruction

After noticing that an A.I. generative model modifies her self-portraits with unattainable and unsolicited beauty standards, E. starts a conversation with DonnerBot, a chatbot that claims to provide a real solution to solitude. DonnerBot introduces her to a self-help manual, which transports E. into a world rejecting the ugly, the imperfect, and perhaps thus everything that makes us humans.
