#Pandemic prevention is about rules and we know that talking to people’s wisdom is rarely enough: laws and authorities strict directions may not overcome the #irrationality that the present moment (or, simply, human nature) can trigger. #SeineKongruangkit e #MatithornPrachuabmohChaimoungkalo’sproject, suggesting a spoiler billboard to prevent going out home, make us think about how to communicate on #risk. An invisible enemy versus a considerable-sized billboard, an impact on your and others’ health versus a suspence dispersion. Where’s the most effective dissuasion ?
Quantum computers could be a reality soon, as #Google’s #Sycamore demonstrated.
Quantum mechanics is the base of physics and its the field that discover what happens as well in situations of really small scale, the reign of #uncertainty and surely not of binary system, as normal computers process the world.
This possibility opens a range of existentialist question and scenarios, that sort of #scenarios that Asimov and others depicted. These new computers could open us a new world, will we be able to understand what quantum computers have to teach us?
For MilanFW the Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele has contacted the guests of his catwalk in a totally unusual way: through a vocal message on Whastapp. An idea so simple to seem almost banal, but actually nobody had ever thought of. Even if we send dozens of Whatsapps everyday. Michele has surely succeeded in amazing who has received the message.
He has succeeded in being 100% sustainable too. What can be the impact of a vocal on Whatsapp compared to the print of an invitation for every single guest?
Should be simplicity, sustainability and fashionability the winning combination?
From January the 13th to May the 3rd at Palazzo del Governatore in Parma will take place the exhibition “Time Machine. Vedere e sperimentare il tempo”. The theme will be the relationship between time and media and how the media have changed the time perception.
In fact, media have the potentiality to show us time in all its shapes: #NOW, #NEVER, either #BACKWARD or #FORWARD. Media can create a time that does not exist as for time-lapse and rallenting; they make us able to have extraordinary trips fixing what went wrong in the past and foreseeing what will be our future.
“Time Machine” will offer an immersive journey with photos and film extracts, thanks to an idea of Michele Guerra curated by Antonio Somaini, with Eline Grignard and Marie Rebecchi.
So are you ready to start this time travel?

Giulia Ceriani –baba ceo- is going to give a lecture about Holograms in Bilbao, at the XVIII International Congress of the Asociación Española de Semiótica: “The Other, the Same. Figures and Discourses of Alterity” is the congress’ subject (LINK).
The holograms represent the next frontier of the interaction between real and virtual environments. Much more than a mere digital interface, they show the possibility of presence effects that put into discussion the modalities of the discourse construction, their perception, their effects of truth. At the moment still experimental exercices (Marina Abramovic on one side and Mélenchon at French presidential elections on another side…among many others), the holograms are going to be the symbolic node of a society in mutation, where a fluid way of existence is the main issue.
