Filippo Gregoretti is a pioneer in the combination of technology, visual arts, performance, music, and storytelling. He is a transmedia artist with a focus on algorithms, as well as a pianist, composer, developer, and fine artist.

He invented the concept of "App Artwork" and released the first ever works of art that were made into applications and distributed in the official stores.

His artistic practice incorporates his own original artistic artificial intelligence

algorithms and encompasses installations, live performances, music, interactive works and visual artworks. At Naples’ Suor Orsola Benincasa University, he is a professor of “transmedia art and creativity.”

His awards include the Perseo D'Oro first prize at Mediartech, the Festival Internazionale dell’Opera Multimediale 1996, presided over by Gillo Pontecorvo’s jury. In the early 1990s, he founded Alpha Channel and ForteYang International, the first artistic studios focused on interactivity, networks and innovative works involving digital technologies. In 1992, he launched "NeT-ArT," one of the earliest art-related dynamic experiments on the internet. In addition to focusing on his personal artistic practice, his experience spans as a visual artist, performer, composer, producer, designer, author and creative developer on an uncountable number of highly innovative projects in the arts, entertainment, and technology, working with institutions in Europe, Asia, the United States, and the Middle East. His artworks have been exhibited in international venues, and his compositions have been used as soundtracks for audio-visual products and artistic initiatives and have been published by major record labels. He has performed internationally as a solo musician, accompanied by other performers or by his digital beings, on hundreds of occasions since the ‘80s.

Over the last two decades, he has created the concept, algorithms, and technology that make up "Amrita," an artistic artificial intelligence, or “artificial artistic evolving personality," aiming at emulating human emotion and complexity in the creative act. "Amrita" is the result of his inspiration and knowledge gained as a visual artist, piano improviser, and composer, as well as his research on intelligent algorithms and interiority.

He frequently performs on the Harmonium with Amrita in what the artist refers to as "Transhuman Yoga" sessions throughout Italy and abroad and gives presentations and workshops on a variety of themes, with a focus on the relationship and spiritual connection that exists between human consciousness, the arts, the performative act and technology. He exhibits his works of art, “Sadyah” (crystallized moments of co-creation between the human and the artificial), and creates site-specific installations internationally in solo exhibitions and events.

He just released "Ad Vitam," the world's first “App Artwork” (an app conceived as a work of art) distributed through Apple and Google official stores.

He is currently a resident artist in the European Commission S+T+ARTS AIR program, within which, together with SONY CSL, Epica La Fura dels Baus, Pina and other institutions, he is experimenting with the creation of an instinctive relationship between human consciousness, infosphere moral values, and AI in artistic and performative expression.
