About

The AI era is transforming how we think, create, and relate to one another. Machines can amplify disconnection or open possibility. They can erode critical thinking or help us recognize what being human has always been.

My work externalizes pieces of my inner life into visual poems. I collaborate with diffusion models to translate language into visuals, and I craft physical compositions that weave all elements together. My practice is collaborative because it opens new forms of seeing and extends the range of what I can do.

I'm drawn to threshold spaces because they help give form to the immensity I feel within. I investigate interdependence, creative expression, memory, and the search for meaning. My drive is to discover something novel that moves me.

My art emerges across disciplines and continents. As a ballet dancer, I trained at the limits of physical expression. My research in biomedical sciences—where I used engineered sensors to study nanoscale connections between cellular structures—shaped my belief that machines can expand human potential.

AI is a mirror; my work is to see what it shows about us. I invite viewers to pause and question appearances.

Biography

Valentina Calore (b. 1993, Padua, Italy) is a new media and interdisciplinary artist investigating what AI reveals about humanity. After 20+ years of classical ballet training, she conducted pre-clinical and clinical research in Italy and Berlin before a sabbatical in New York City redirected her toward art. Her hybrid works interlace artificial intelligence, language, and material craft, treating nuance as the site where meaning takes shape.
