On Saturday, May 26 th NONE collective organizes the fifth and the last date of Simposio: a meeting, performance and installation program that investigates the man-machine relation within the contemporary society. It was conceived to trigger a network, a public debate and a reflection on the digital contemporaneity and its implications on a perceptive, cognitive, social, and economic level.
Once a month, artists, intellectuals, researchers, writers, communicators, hackers met in NONE studio and through the convivial practice of the Greek-Roman symposium, to deepen the knowledge and the awareness of the relationship man-machine, to investigate the methodology with which the art can act on the present.
The objective of Simposio is to put in place a process of investigation on the contemporary condition and creation of artistic expressive autonomy, not referring to the creativity of art but intending art as starting point of a subversive strategy.
