The Relationship Between Humanity And Technology

The exhibition c o n N E T c _ PROJECT is thesis project by Susuwatari, a group of students (Stefano De Putti, Martina De Marinis, Isabella Zaiacometti, Francina Foresti e Guglielmo Sudati) of the school Mohole.

It was curated by Stefano De Putti e Arte in schiscia (Sara Laia Bravo, Francesca Caianiello, Alice Briccola, collective that deals with art criticism and communication) with the support of Temple of the Future * Lost.

The concept is about the relationship between human and technology. Increasingly immersed in the flow of data and information online, what is changing in our habits?

After a call for artists, the group selected photographs and reflections of 100 artists. Here you can see a selection.

"I grew up at a time when to get to know each other you had to be courageous, to get involved in the first person. It was nice to look into each other's eyes and ask questions, to find that embarrassment mixed with shyness. I am sorry for the young people of today who have not known the poetry of the old world."
E. Paolucci Giannettoni

"Bring a shell close to your ear: listen to the illusion of the sea, a gesture as simple as it is special. What is the boundary between reality and reproduction, between living in first person and through a screen? Perhaps it is only a matter of time and the frenetic multiplicity of the internet will affect even the small gestures of intimate delicacy, stripping of their meaning the instinctive rituals that make us more human."
M. Gualandris

"I don't have clear memories, I'm not sure what I saw, the images in my brain accumulate chaotic and happy. Because my memory is external, it's all stored in the black box of a hard drive. I don't need to remember, I just have to connect and the mind finds its order, the memories come back in line."
G. Carrano

"Kali is one of the ancient human concepts of death. Modern technology is the most powerful weapon with which apparent images enter people's minds and hearts, and the imagination acquires depth, even that of the inevitable goddess of death."

"This digital transformation fills the squares, but with loneliness and indifference to the beauty and wonder of the world around us. Domenico Modugno's statue wants to wake us up from this bad dream!"
D. Tangro

"The symbiotic relationship between man and technology becomes addictive, replacing air and lifeblood."
A. Moni

"Rome, Colosseum. Looking out from one of the arches, the tourists shoot quickly. As you double-check the photo, you are immersed in a timeless moment. Technology is a colossal detachment, between landscape and its image. It is not observed, but immortalized, in the era of "I share, therefore I am"."
L. Marraffino

"Today we are ruled by what we have built ourselves. Surrounded by majestic buildings that trample nature, they deny it. And the contact with nature crumbles."
S. Foglia

"Photography, internet and social media are our tools to face life. Technology as a means of social denunciation, a form of rebellion and struggle for rights. A practice of civil resistance."
