In “Insert feelings,” SVCCY constructs an image with a polished and deliberately artificial aesthetic, in which the classical legacy—the white, fragmentary sculptural bust—is intervened upon by devices characteristic of digital culture and entertainment. The figure, deprived of its gaze by a sort of visor-like control device, is transformed into a vessel for a mediated, programmed, and emotionally conditioned identity. The illuminated message “Insert feelings” introduces an ironic reading: emotions, far from appearing as spontaneous impulses, seem here to be something that can be inserted, exchanged, or even consumed.

The composition contrasts the idealized serenity of the bust with cables, buttons, a screen, and headphones, creating a tension between classicism and technological dystopia. The pink background, the glass of red liquid, and the scene’s almost advertising-like cleanliness accentuate the image’s seductive nature, but also its unease: beneath its playful, pop-art appearance lies a reflection on the loss of authenticity, the exposure of the self, and the artificial construction of desire in the media age.

SVCCY is an Italian visual artist who began his career in 2016, first in digital collage and later in 3D graphics. His work explores themes such as identity, authenticity, and illusory freedom in the context of the technological and media revolution, drawing on sculptural-looking human figures that are often faceless or covered by objects. In 2023, he presented the solo exhibition “Dystopian Constructions” at W1 Curates on Oxford Street in London, and that same year he created visual projections for Bellini’s “Norma” and Verdi’s “Nabucco” at the Ravenna Festival, under the direction of Riccardo Muti. His work has also been shown in Shibuya, at Milan Digital Art Week, London Digital Art Week, Artcrush Gallery, and Clear Channel Belgium; in 2026, he will present “NEO-CLASSIC DYSTOPIA” in Bologna and is featured in the publication “222 Emerging Artists to Invest in 2026.”
