The A I.D Il cyberbullismo oltre le parole, Museo de La Vaccheria, Roma (2023)

​

 

Curated by Riccardo Rizzetto, The A.I.D — Il cyberbullismo oltre le parole (Cyberbullying Beyond Words) is an immersive exhibition and research-based installation developed from an initiative by ACLI Roma and the creative concept by DDB Group Italy.
Held in April 2023 at La Vaccheria in Rome, the project aimed to raise awareness around cyberbullying by transforming real testimonies into an emotionally and spatially charged experience.

​

The exhibition presented thirty stories of redemption; personal accounts of those who had endured acts of online violence and found new ways to narrate their experience. Through the use of artificial intelligence, each story was translated into visual form, rendering the invisible pain of digital aggression into images that could be collectively perceived.

​

This act of translation worked as an amplifier, a megaphone for empathy: allowing the unheard to be heard, and transforming subjective trauma into shared reflection. The A.I.D reframed the digital wound as a possibility for reparation; a space where listening becomes an act of care, and where technology, rather than dehumanising, becomes a conduit for healing.

​

By curating the spatial narrative and overall exhibition design, Riccardo Rizzetto sought to guide visitors through a gradual process of confrontation and transformation: from the silence of isolation to the emergence of a collective awareness.
The immersive path invited visitors to cross a threshold — from darkness into light — embodying the idea that change begins through resonance with the other.
