"Rainer Maria Rilke spoke the truth. He wrote, "the future enters into us, to transform itself within us, long before it happens." This cover by Andrea Bonaceto (Pisa, 1989), one of the most acclaimed digital artists, demonstrated how time (and vision of the future) can alter languages and perceptions within the art system. The piece we see represents something that will fully materialize in a future yet to unfold. A cover acting as a gateway to a new dimension of observation. A cover that is truly special, for several reasons: firstly, this piece is the outcome of a collaboration process with artificial intelligence. Bonaceto manually crafted the central part of the artwork, while the outer portion was generated by artificial intelligence, incorporating years of the artist's creative legacy. Secondly, all the central figures serve as the foundation for a new alphabet (think Egiptian hieroglyphs) that will only gain meaning through interaction with future digital audiences. Thirdly, this cover, for the first time in the history of "La Lettura", will be offered with a digital certificate of authenticity for those interested. This makes the cover uniquely special. A collector's item, indeed." - Gianluigi Colin, Art director at Corriere della Sera
