I have been working on this behind the scenes for quite some time with my team, and I’m finally ready to share Untitled with the world. Untitled is not just an artistic project, but a framework leveraging AI to pursue human introspection and authenticity. Powered by @openai and @soraofficial , and shaped through presets I developed to encode my artistic language, Untitled unfolds in two moments: 1) The revelation of the subjective self. An Immersive Experience that invites people to be authentic – to remove the mask they wear in society and to speak truthfully about themselves. The experience will premier later today in Hong Kong at The Box, Hong Kong Design Centre. One person enters at a time. AI-driven entities guide each person through a moment of deep introspection, creating a space where individuals can reveal who they truly are. This brings humans closer to one another and to their own essence. 2) The collective truth becomes form. The truths that emerge inside the Immersive Experience become the creative input of Untitled. The new artworks generated through this process take a cinematic form, where image, music and language merge into a unified portrait of the human inner world. The more people engage with Untitled, the more representative it becomes of our collective understanding – moving toward a unified entity built from many selves. Some early snapshots will appear across Hong Kong on major billboards in the coming weeks. In this context, AI is a tool that can deepen our humanity and our understanding of the world within ourselves. The seed is, and will always remain, deeply human. Untitled will travel across cultures and continents, expanding as more people contribute. I hope many of you will experience it. — Andrea

I am K I live in Hungary I design knitwear Which I really love I think designing knitwear is a fantastic thing I am at the same time A rebellious artist and a mother I love music I like dancing I love calmness But also when many things are happening I am full of contradictions I think I love Truth Nature Art Silence But what I love most is knitting Standing at the knitting machine At the hand-operated machine Pulling to the right, left, right, left, right, left Watching how slowly the stitches form one after another The first time in my life I felt truly lost Was when I lived alone for the first time In a rented apartment During that period I learned an incredible amount about myself And about how much freedom I was actually able to experience At the same time I also sensed that by living alone I could not share my experiences with anyone And I think that is very important Two opposing poles meet within me I am constantly learning How to find Balance and harmony Between these two poles Perhaps I can form a bridge Between the people who represent each pole I know both sides Because I experience them every day Continuously I believe that creating balance is my task in life It is also my task in the environment around me The smoothing of tensions I try to do this in my everyday life In my work And in my family

I was born as the only child in a Chinese family Very local and traditional culture I came to Hong Kong to study I am from a middle-class family Very ordinary but full of love All of this shaped who I am I am very curious I like business and investment I am sometimes difficult to deal with I have my own strong personality But I am also very easygoing I love yoga I love to be free I love learning I love changes I love to do what I like I don’t want to worry about daily life Most people struggle just to get through it But I live in a very comfortable environment I can set my own schedule Peaceful I only feel completely lost in my dreams When I am detached from normal life Living in a different world My brain gets a break I experience another life for a while I am a little spoiled I haven’t suffered much in my life When I see something beautiful I want it But I am not always willing To work hard for get it Others often are There is always a balance The purpose of life is The experiences we live Between birth and death There are basic things everyone must face First to stay alive Then to try to live comfortably Most people struggle to achieve both That they often forget the beauty of life The purpose of life is within Who we meet What we experience This is what matters most

I am here I am now I am changing I am staying the same I am high I am low I am around I am lost and found I am burning time I am letting time go by I am me I am you I am them And I am us I am Five Four Three Two One I love abstract art I love animations I love visuals But now I can’t do that too often Because survival requires A variety of time-based tasks That end up collapsing on each other And taking over everything When the pandemic first started I felt lost All my projects were collapsing I was living in a space With bad people I had to keep moving forward I learned that sometimes When push comes to shove People just don't have Any care for others I'm just an animal We need food Sunlight Air Water Nourishment Sexual activity Everything else Is there to pass the time And that's what working in life is Working helps pass the time As dull as it can be I find my purpose in life as having goals Goals that aren't too selfish But still give me self-fulfilment I currently am At a low point of refilling that glass Of interesting art and work that I create But I'll probably be Back on top of that Soon

This is a true human story, shared during the Untitled immersive experience in Hong Kong by an anonymous participant. When someone across the world feels exactly what you’ve never said out loud, for a moment distance collapses and you realise we were never that different to begin with – I feel lost I don't know where I should be Or what I should do It is interesting to explore Everything around me I don’t have a clear path About where I want to go Or where I want to be in the future I want to explore everything But I don’t have the chance to I’d like to learn more about the world I’m interested in art Marine biology Science I love to read I love ceramics I love to explore Hong Kong I love to eat I love meeting new people I love to explore our world I learned that Planning ahead of time Does not mean You are going to always follow the plan You might still feel completely lost Not knowing where to start I learned to follow the flow I don’t like to stick to one thing I find it boring to stick with it I’m trying to work towards my purpose But in truth I still don’t know

I am something I come from nothing This contradiction defines who I am And who I am not I am a child Though I no longer remember What shapes me The most important memory is Forgotten Childhood sinks into the subconscious I wander through an unfamiliar world I label the unreal as real Growing up Is learning to trust strangers The carnival of life unfolds I fight for my place in society I discover I do not fit in The mask I chose to wear now Clings too tightly to my skin I face the parts of myself I despise the most Countless lives intersect mine I learn the rules of letting go This version of myself Can no longer stay I want to wear my own face Rebirth I do not understand death Everything ends That is why everything matters That is why everything does not matter My story is the only reality I live from within But I need your story to write mine I do not know who I am Who am I? I do not know who you are Who are you This is the very first Untitled artwork. It tells a very personal human story – my own – shared during the Untitled Immersive Experience. Untitled is a space where people can reveal their fragility and who they are. A moment of vulnerability and truth. When we understand that everyone carries a cross, in one way or another, we stop seeing strangers. We start seeing humans.

In this interview, I talk about the genesis of Untitled: how it began, what it means, and where it’s heading. Untitled was born from a few simple questions: Who am I? Who are you? Can technology help us answer those questions rather than pull us further apart? Rather than deepen our disconnection from the present moment? The project creates a space where people can share their deepest fears, insecurities, and doubts, reconnect with those around them, and allow AI to act as the thread that weaves these human experiences together.

As part of the broader Untitled release in Hong Kong, one of my earlier works was also brought back into the public space: AB Infinite 1. Created as a participatory AI artwork, AB Infinite 1 evolved through public interaction on social media, transforming images and words shared by people into a continuously changing visual and poetic work. It was my first attempt to embed people stories into an ever evolving artwork. In 2022, the work was auctioned at @christiesinc ’s 20th/21st Century Evening Sale in London and is now part of the @8smicka collection. Looking back, AB Infinite 1 and Untitled are deeply connected. Both begin with the same question: who are we, once we remove the masks we wear? That question feels even more urgent today, as AI and automation increasingly reshape how we define ourselves. Fernando Pessoa wrote in The Tobacco Shop: “When I went to take off the mask, It was stuck to my face. When I got it off and saw myself in the mirror, I had already grown old.” In different ways, both works attempt to loosen that mask – using technology not to replace us, but to reflect us back to ourselves. Untitled continues this journey by adding a layer of intimate introspection that feeds into collective participation. When we are alone with ourselves is when honesty is most raw. The intent remains the same: to keep human truths alive, with technology as a medium, not something that distances us from one another or from ourselves.

A moment from the very first Untitled artwork, shown in Hong Kong as part of the second phase of the project. A personal human story, narrated through AI, appeared along the harbour and lit up the façades of Tsim Sha Tsui Centre and Empire Centre, becoming part of the city’s everyday flow. Thanks to Sino Group and Nan Fung Group for the support.

E se l’intelligenza artificiale non servisse a dare risposte, ma a fare domande? Con Untitled, l’artista contemporaneo Andrea Bonaceto trasforma l’AI in uno spazio di introspezione: un’esperienza immersiva in cui la tecnologia ascolta, raccoglie confessioni e restituisce opere che parlano dell’essere umano. Qui l’algoritmo non sostituisce l’uomo, lo accompagna. Perché al centro non c’è la macchina, ma ciò che da sempre ci definisce: le domande, le emozioni, le fragilità.

The second phase of Untitled transforms people’s confessions from the immersive experience into video artworks. These works carry the depth of individual truth – using AI to give form to deeply personal, human portraits. The result is cinematic storytelling shaped by my artistic DNA: sometimes a single story, sometimes a constellation of voices. The first Untitled story was unveiled in Hong Kong at AIRSIDE, where it appeared on a massive LED in the heart of the city. What you see here is just a fragment. Other scenes surfaced across the city, and many more are yet to come.

A few moments from the unveiling of Untitled in Hong Kong at @hkdesigncentre during @bodwinthecity . Looking back on the past year, I feel deep gratitude for my team and all partners who made this possible. Untitled continues to unfold through 2026 and beyond, reaching new places and cultures, growing as a living human archive shaped by art and technology.
