Inspiration

Dwelling in the future + New Perspectives

The meeting: Watch the video

Organized with: Artdisk | Design & Comunicazione Fluida; Maura Gancitano

Topics: Diversity and Inclusion; Inclusive communication; Gender diversity; Gender equality; LGBTQI+ community; Cyberbullying; Hate speech

In 2016, which seems very far away, the Manifest of the Hostile Words was born.In point 1 it states “Virtual is real”. This principle implies that virtual has taken the form of a real world, new and newly born, populated by people and groups that interact or oppose each other, building relationships or wrecking them. A world made of “bubbles” blown by algorithms, overloaded with information, true and false, in which words echo and are stones becoming boulders..

On this Tangible Day, we will be guided by Maura Gancitano through the worst behaviors and manifestations that inhabit the web and we will reason on the principles that can guide us to find solutions that can make it more habitable and ecological. Hovering between virtual and real, Arianna Ciccarelli and Anna Sabella of Artdisk will help us read and interpret the meanings behind the advertising communication, offline and online, to learn how to listen to words and see images outside our bubble.
