New York – Nov 24, 2025 – The Center for the Multidisciplinary Study of Cybernetic Existentialism announces a retrospective exhibition featuring the groundbreaking works of the late Ruffo Caselli, (Florence 1932/Ovada 2020) the visionary artist who began embedding microchips into canvases since their invention and reached worldwide appreciation during Manhattan’s early 1980s art scene. The exhibition will soon open in Italy, presenting decades of work that anticipated artificial intelligence developments long before they entered mainstream consciousness.
Caselli’s paintings merge sophisticated robotics with philosophical explorations of consciousness, creating what organizers describe as “enigmatic complexity and linguistic dynamism.” His works have gained international recognition across North and South America, Korea, and Russia, establishing him as a foundational figure in the Cybernetic Existentialism movement.
“Ruffo possessed an extraordinary ability to see beyond the present moment,” reflects Carmen Gallo, his longtime art curator and patron. “While others feared technology, he embraced it as a canvas for humanity’s deepest questions. His work doesn’t just depict the future—it asks us what it means to be conscious in an age of machines.”
“This exhibition represents a cultural statement about the enduring relationship between human philosophical questioning and technological advancement,” according to exhibition organizers. “Caselli’s elegant style makes complex ideas accessible while maintaining intellectual depth.”
The retrospective challenges conventional fears about technology by framing it as an extension of human philosophical inquiry rather than a threat. Caselli’s embedded microchips and robotic elements perform complex tasks within his canvases, suggesting that philosophical understanding will ultimately guide technological development.
Visitors will encounter a visual dialogue between existential thought and cybernetic innovation, experiencing firsthand how one artist’s prescient vision continues to resonate in today’s AI-driven world. The exhibition offers thought-provoking explorations of consciousness through Caselli’s distinctive artistic lens.
