The students of the Accademia di Brera enter the future and tell the world about it.
On Tuesday and Thursday, the Accademia di Brera will be the protagonist of three events at MDW2020.
The 3rd Edition of Milan Digital Week opens on Monday 25th of May, the most digital week of the year. MDW2020, in a completely online version, wants to reiterate the importance of an open and inclusive discussion on issues that are today conveyed and supported by digital: from work to education, from governance to the environment, up to the sustainable economy. Up to Friday 30th of May there will be over 500 events open to all, including three events signed by the students of the Accademia di Brera that we present in detail.
FAKE LAKE - ONLINE GROUP SHOW

exhibition website: www.fakelake.org
"Fake Lake" is an online exhibition born from a collaboration between the students of the Department of New Art Technologies at the Accademia di Brera, Milan (IT) and the students of the research seminar "The Art of the self: identity and self-representation from diary to artificial intelligence (AI) ”, at the University of Berkeley, California (US).
Artist: Aaron BARNABAS | Alina Akhaminova | Ariel HELLER | Ashley REED | Aurelia SCHEPPERS | Bailey SANDLER | Ben MICALLEF | Christian DIAZ | Cristina ANGELORO | Dua SHAMSI | Erik NUDING | Giuseppe COCCURULLO | Iris MORREL | Jack MORRISSEY | Jenna MATTISON and Olivia DUTCHER | Jenna RINGUETTE | Kiely LAM | Li SHIYUN | Luca MARCELLI | Mario NOLASCO | Mattia CARLÀ | Regina MADANGUIT | Robert ATKINS | Silvia PORRO | Tanica MARMAI
In an era in which personal life is conveyed by continuous automatisms and mediated by online experiences, the Fake Lake site becomes a safe zone in which the artists of the project try to disconnect from the accelerated routine of contemporary life to allow themselves a moment of introspection and reflection, to analyze their feelings and look for new ways to express them online. But how without being tracked, monitored and cataloged by a capitalist algorithmic control system that will later try to exploit them in its favor? How to express them without entering the 'trap' of the objectification of the body and the fascination of facial masks, means used to collect data and faces? The image becomes an infinite resource of information and habits, and the online existence requires us to passively accept this continuous archiving by the major majors. The impossibility of being able to evade this mechanism sometimes unconsciously translates into the impossibility of seeing a future not corrupted by ephemeral interests, causing a great mass disillusionment. How is it possible to react within this mechanism?

The story is recited by two real actresses, but completely digitally reworked, with original music signed by the director himself, and involves the audience on an immersive sensory journey that tells the anguish of "singularity", but also the great and happy possibilities that arise. from the meeting between Human and AI.
