A game within a game, between language and technology, between art and literature, but above all between machine and Human. The publication brings together the 140 original plates to be investigated, analysed and deciphered; a hell within Dante's hell. The proposed volume faithfully reproduces the plates (here illuminated) dedicated to and based on the original Dante's Inferno, created by Fabrizio Santona on a visual suggestion of the works of Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Dor.

A journey through language and the contemporary metamorphosis of communication systems where numbers and binary codes replace characters, giving rise to new encrypted content. A visual journey of discovery, testimony to a period of history in which Humans are increasingly being assisted by machines and Artificial Intelligence, to the point of running the risk of being annihilated by them. So this futuristic work seeks to stimulate and challenge the viewer to search and unveil the meanings hidden inside the images (mockery of the machine), testifying to the evolution of human languages and its contemporary infernos. All in a ‘PIXELATED’ aesthetic that makes graphic censorship (through ‘bugs’ and barriers) the basis for constructing paradoxical images that illusorily appear, creating new meanings. In short...A cruel portrait of the contemporary world in which perception is often achieved precisely through denying content that is now unreadable, even for Artificial Intelligence as yet incapable of ‘intuition’. Going along with this present time lacking syntax and punctuation, illusorily free but governed by numbers and those who hold them ... About the Author: Fabrizio Santona Fabrizio Santona, born in Turin on 7 June 1977, made his debut in the world of art and creativity at a very young age in 1998 (winning the award for the logo of the Vicoforte mountain community, creating scenic installations and merchandising). In the years immediately following his diploma (geometry and advertising graphics), during his studies at DAMS in Turin, he took part in the Florence Biennale (2003, chaired by Barbara Rose) with a prestigious critique by J. T. Spike. From that moment on he began a creative path with exhibitions ranging from Italy (Venice, Melfi, Florence and Rome at the Gallery of Modern Art and the Higher Institute of Culture) to the USA, Mexico and Munich (at the Department of Culture). He added experimentation to the exhibition (working in collaboration with Eugenio Guglielminetti and his Foundation), specialising in and creating the ‘Most-O method’ (artistic performance experimentation in a healthcare environment, within the Asti local health authority in Italy, featuring dozens of performances). In 2012, together with a team of professionals and enthusiasts, he founded ARTIDEMOCRATICHE with dozens of exhibitions and interventions. It was in 2019/2020, as the drama of the ‘Pandemic’ unfolded, that he began working on DANTE HACKERATO.
