bis 14.06. | #4644ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 presents from 1st May 2025 (Vernissage: 02.05.) the exhibition „My desire, my dream, my despair“ by the Italian artist collective Numero Cromatico.
On the occasion of Gallery Weekend 2025, AOA;87 is opening the exhibition „My desire, my dream, my despair“ by the Italian artist collective Numero Cromatico, which provides an insight into their latest artistic research.
The exhibition presents three series of artworks that dialogue with each other through form, language and colour, offering the public an immersive experience: crossable curtains, luminous pieces and tapestries, artworks that activate the public on several sensory levels.

Is the exhibition, entitled My desire, my dream, my despair, a declaration of the artists’ love for art or for the public? Or is it a tool that Numero Cromatico offers the spectator to investigate their deepest feelings and bring them to consciousness?
The only way to understand this is to experience the artworks and the exhibition space designed ad hoc by the Italian collective.

As is always the case in Numero Cromatico’s projects, natural and artificial elements, artificial intelligence and craft techniques, art and neuroscience are put into dialogue. The result is a perceptual experience that engages the public on several perceptive levels
Numero Cromatico is an artist collective, research center, and publishing house.
Nationally recognized for its monumental installations, Numero Cromatico merges visual arts, design, architecture, and literature with scientific knowledge—including neuroaesthetics, empirical aesthetics, experimental psychology, and digital studies. The collective aims to reimagine new forms of relationships between humans, nature, and technology while challenging the paradigms of contemporary society.
For years, the collective has fostered the debate on the relationship between art and neuroscience through Nodes – Journal of Art and Neuroscience, a specialized publication in neuroaesthetics that has become an international reference for researchers.
