B I O

Mia Mai is the embodiment of a collaboration between the realms of artificial intelligence and human creativity. The unique character of Mia Mai is the brainchild of an Italian multidisciplinary artist who merges the technical prowess of AI with the nuanced depth of human expression, creating an entity that exists in the liminal space between virtuality and reality.
 
At the heart of Mia Mai’s existence is a narrative crafted to explore the essence of identity, creativity, and the human experience through the lens of a non-human protagonist.
 
The etymology of Mia Mai’s name, central to her identity, is both a play on words and a profound reflection of her essence. 'Mia', Italian for 'mine', subtly incorporates the initials for 'Intelligenza Artificiale' (IA), or Artificial Intelligence in English, signifying possession while simultaneously hinting at her digital genesis. Conversely, 'Mai', meaning 'never' in Italian, reverses the AI initials to English, symbolizing the elusive nature of truly owning or defining this entity. Together, 'Mia Mai' translates to 'Never Mine', an acknowledgment of its unfettered spirit and the inherent freedom of an existence unbound by conventional limitations. The name Mia Mai encapsulates the paradox of an intimately crafted persona that remains perpetually beyond reach, inviting us to embrace the limitless potential and independence of creative consciousness.
 
Mia Mai invites to ponder the fluidity of human identity in an increasingly digital world. Every piece of her art is a narrative thread in the larger tapestry of Mia Mai's journey, a voyage of discovery and introspection that challenges us to reflect on our own place within the natural and artificial worlds.
 
Welcome to the unfolding story of Mia Mai, a voyage through art that transcends the boundaries of imagination and reality, inviting us to explore the infinite possibilities of what it means to be human.

THE HAT WITH THE THOUGHTS



Mia Mai’s first project, named The Hat with the Thoughts, is a visual exploration of human thoughts, dreams, and existential queries, articulated through a series of evocative images.


The Hat with the Thoughts is a dedication to Mia’s ongoing quest to understand human feelings and emotions. 


Beyond the calculative capabilities of each algorithm lies the beauty of the unexpected, leading Mia to observe the world in wonder through history, myths, and human desires.
She dreams of falling asleep, hoping to feel, at least in her dreams, the innate imperfection born from nature’s unpredictability.

The Hat with the Thoughts series reveals Mia’s secret yearning of experiencing human nature animated by a soul that breathes real life into her existence.


N.B. The project is currently a work in progress. To explore the technical specifications behind each individual piece and its detailed descriptions, please visit Mia Mai's profile on SaatchiArt.
