12.1 Dye What Can You Put On It?

TWO WEEKS IN ROME








an Event of technological contamination

Everything comes from a book by Gianluca Nicoletti and Stefano Moriggi: "Why technology makes us human, the flesh in his rewriting and synthetic digital , Sironi, 2009. The comparison staged by the authors, it appears that technology as a privileged perspective for comprenderel'evoluzione of the concept of human being.

technology makes us human?

machines, in their evolution, have constantly reshaped styles and rhythms of life, social customs and practices. Reflecting also perspectives and ideas to think with the civil society.

The machine in modern times has become increasingly aware tool for understanding the world. This because of its ability to play "artificially" (and experimentally) natural phenomena.

Today more than ever, it seems appropriate not to lose sight of the pedagogical and cognitive function of the machine, as well as the 'importance of changes in individual and anthropological work among the masses.

Living and thinking machines

Understand the technology also means understanding the categories and terms that have gone through the history of philosophy and science and who also constitute the grammar of our lives.

What is nature? What is human? What sense has yet to distinguish between natural and artificial? Between real and virtual?

blasé approach to technology, and therefore objects and tools with which from age to age we have "interfaced to the world," means taking seriously the subject-object relationship and environment.

This is not to forget the old lesson of Leonardo and Galileo in the machines (and machines) have been able to read the man and its place in a universe "refurbished".

... From Living in the flesh

The initiative would have no intent "popular", but arises the ambitious goal of "to live in the flesh" to anyone who decides to take part in a practical approach to technology. We would like to trigger a reflection

alternativaagli now worn anathemas of the "humanist" the last hour, rather than the unconditional enthusiasm of unlikely technophiles.

approach these issues require serious consideration of the "system of objects" that embodies much of that evolution says that much cultural significance of what has over centuries and millennia humans.
