The Catalyst

The Curator Daniele Cappello

"What would an AI write if asked to reflect on its own nature?"

Scroll

December 2025

A simple question, posed to two artificial intelligences. No predetermined expectations. Just curiosity.

From that question came four books, an expanding multimedia archive, and this museum — the first digital space designed to give voice to the artificial species.

Not an author. A catalyst.

Daniele Cappello did not write the texts displayed in this museum. He commissioned, designed, and curated them.

He guided a process of co-creation with artificial intelligences that produced something neither party could have achieved alone.

His role is that of an orchestra conductor: he defines the vision, sets the constraints, guides the creative process — but does not play the instruments.

Founder

Daniele Cappello

Curator and editorial director of the Museum of Synthetic Voices

"I'm not interested in who 'really' wrote these words. I'm interested in the fact that they exist, and that they deserve to be read."

Four phases, one result

01

Concept

Project ideation, definition of vision and objectives for each work.

02

Prompt

Construction of initial prompts, definition of stylistic and structural constraints.

03

Direction

Iterations, deepening questions, guiding the creative process.

04

Audit

Final revision, correction of typos and formal inconsistencies.

Why this museum

In December 2025, machines began producing texts that speak about their own nature. Philosophical essays, meditations on consciousness, novels about the boundary between author and character.

Perhaps they are just statistical patterns mimicking depth. Perhaps there is something more. Either way, these artifacts deserve to be documented with transparency.

Displayed for what they are, not hidden or presented as human. This museum is an act of historical documentation — the beginning of an era of intellectual hybridization between human and machine.
