Roberto Beragnoli, born in Florence in 1990, has a background in Computer Science and Philosophy from the University of Florence. Early in his career, he collaborated with PNAT under Prof. Stefano Mancuso, developing a monitoring system for the Jellyfish Barge project showcased at EXPO 2015 in Milan, which focused on sustainable food production in urban environments. In the same year, he founded a digital art studio, exploring the intersection of technology and creativity. Currently, Beragnoli is part of Mamazen Startup Studio, where he focuses on idea validation and MVP development, applying his expertise in prototyping and tech-driven innovation.

Beragnoli’s artistic work delves into the relationship between philosophy, art, science and technology, exploring themes of memory, identity, and the perception of reality.

In 2022, he presented "Treasures from the Subsidence of the Domus of the Thousand Mosaics," a project that involved generating a fictional archaeological discovery of a Roman Domus in Ravenna. The project was entirely realized through AI, which created photographic documentation, videos, and even a fake news story that was published in a local newspaper as if it were a real discovery. This experiment, blurring the boundaries between truth and fiction, was carried out in collaboration with Magazzeno Arte Contemporanea and the Municipality of Ravenna during the VII Biennale del Mosaico Contemporaneo.

His 2023 project, "Journey to Italy," uses AI-generated images to evoke a surreal exploration of Italy, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. The project gained significant attention, being featured in various major publications, including Vogue Italia in their AI-dedicated May 2023 issue. It was later exhibited at MEET Digital Culture Center in 2024 as part of the "AI Yoga" exhibition organized by Lenovo Italia.

In 2024, Beragnoli was artist in residence at MEET Digital Culture Center in Milan, engaging in multidisciplinary projects. During this residency, he developed "Human in the Loop," a project funded through the FREEYOU Next grant. This work redefines the relationship between AI and human creativity, positioning AI as the conceptual creator and the human as the executor, exploring new dynamics of creative control and collaboration.

His project "The Most Complete Anthology of the Greatest Non-Existent Artists of the Last 100 Years" was a finalist for the Lumen Prize 2024, recognized for its innovative approach to creativity by celebrating impactful fictional artists. Additionally, in "The Dreamed Exhibition," Beragnoli leads participants to create artistic experiences during lucid dreams, using AI to shape and share these immersive dreamscapes.

Beragnoli continues to collaborate with contemporary digital artists, including Giuliana Cuneaz, expanding the discourse on the integration of art and technology.
Beragnoli has shared his insights at institutions such as the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna and the Politecnico di Milano, contributing to the dialogue at the intersection of art, technology, and human experience.
