Yggdrasil of the Algorithm – The Nexus of Light and Shadow concludes the series with a luminous depiction of the Norse World Tree, reinterpreted as the central hub of an expansive digital cosmos. Traditionally, Yggdrasil connects the Nine Realms of Norse mythology, serving as both a source of life and a structure vulnerable to decay and destruction. This duality is mirrored in the digital realm, where interconnected networks hold the potential for both enlightenment and corruption.

Radiating with vibrant hues of gold, green, and blue, the tree stands as a symbol of connection, vitality, and the continuous flow of information. Its branches extend upward into a canopy of shimmering data streams, each line representing the myriad pathways through which information travels - nurturing systems, fostering communication, and enabling growth. Simultaneously, the complexity of these connections hints at their vulnerability; the same channels that sustain can also transmit misinformation, invasive code, or destabilizing content.

The roots spread outward in intricate, luminous networks, delving into a substrate that evokes both organic interconnectedness and technological circuitry. This interplay underscores the concept that beneath the surface of vibrant connections lies a delicate balance between constructive and destructive forces. The vertical lines of light cascading from above suggest continuous data influx - neutral in essence but shaped by how it is used or manipulated.

This portrayal invites reflection on the responsibilities inherent in digital connectivity. Like Yggdrasil, the digital networks of today sustain countless interconnected realms - social, economic, informational - but are subject to both growth and rot. The artwork emphasizes that technological advancement brings both opportunity and peril, making conscious stewardship of information pathways essential for a balanced digital ecosystem.

Born in Brescia in 1957 and raised in Milan, Alberto Capitani is a digital artist bridging classical training and contemporary technology. A piano graduate of the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory (with further studies in composition and electronic music), he also pursued mathematical logic and theoretical philosophy at the University of Milan. For over four decades he taught piano in music-oriented middle schools.
In recent years he has focused on visual arts, working with Midjourney, DALL·E, and ChatGPT. To date he has created about 1,700 works, often organized in series: images and texts are conceived as complementary, while series statements provide the red thread that frames each collection as a coherent whole. His research remains deliberately open in style: style is a means (and at times the spark) in the pursuit of artistic substance, rather than a fixed goal.
Artist Statement
I work at the intersection of images and words. Many pieces are conceived as pairs: an image and a concise description that complete each other artistically. Beyond single works, I build graphic-conceptual stories—sequences guided by a series statement that sets context, tone, and direction.
Artificial intelligence is my studio partner. Between algorithm and metaphor—light and irony—I search for forms that question themselves and invite the viewer to follow the thread of the series. Each work negotiates between the visible and the invisible, the structured and the spontaneous, the human and the artificial.
