Starting with the experience of La Cura, the Summer School proposes a trans-disciplanary topic about planet living in the era of hyper-connection, in order to create an installation for La Triennale di Milano.
The various outputs will be shown at XXI Triennale di Milano International Exhibition, held during the “Condividi la Conoscenza” event.
What does “interconnect the planet in the era of ubiquitous technologies and hyper-connection” mean?
How to create communicative dynamics that interconnect bodies, environments, objects and processes able to generate sense and expand our perception of “beauty-that-connects” evoked by the philospher Gregory Bateson?
How to give a shape to this possibility through a new sense, a new omnipresent tactility?
Starting from Cybernetics, Ecology, from the Theory of Systems and Complexity, we will work with Big Data, social networks, wearable technologies, info-aesthetics and their philosophical and theoretical involvement, in order to create a sensitive installation for the planetary conversations about modalities of living the planet, designing and building an augmented technological and interconnective sense, which will be a wearable technology.
