Monsieur Morin: For A Complex Thought Ethic

Teresa De Feo
To meet Monsieur Morin is not something to be taken lightly. Even those who do not know him could not but be fascinated by his old Frenchman-like elegant ways and his ringed fingers. And I believe in his success. The husky voice with which the Monsieur expresses himself, never as an intellectual but more like the chief of a tribe who tells myths and stories, immediately creates empathy and takes you into an intellectual dimension with layered dimensions: that of complex thought. And it is immediately clear that complex thought, in the presence of the old philosopher, is not just a mix of methods, an intellectual practice, but the exercising of an existential operation, a human opening that has this objective: to give itself a new founding ethic, the ethic that a planetary consciousness needs....

Francesca Proia: The Breath Of The Subtle Body

Massimo Schiavoni
My job is to find a suitable energy in order to create a precise composition . The philosophy of yoga comes across my project of creation as a philosophy that deals with the creation of time. These are Francesca Proia's paths, a young choreographer and dancer in Ravenna that has made the yoga a philosophy of life, making its mark in the theatrical solos danced in detail, where the subtle body imprisons and ponders a unique balance of energy and empathy contemporary dance....

Aesthetics And Computation: The Origins Of Generative Art

Pasquale Napolitano
After some years of a qualified and creative activity, it is now known to most people that the images produced with a generative technique are more adjustable, as they are the result of the information flow being seized in a split second; then the information is adjusted through the interface, that is some kind of design process that gives life to real metadata rather than to images, videos or sounds.

The Future Of Journalism: Comparing Models

Simona Fiore
Are journalism and publishers dying? Are we watching their decline? Even if these assessments seem true today, they are so only in part. Journalism and publishers are facing a serious period of crisis. The responsibility for this condition is probably to be attributed to an inadequate business model which paid little attention to the changes which have affected society and consumers in recent years. The Internet has surely played a significant role in this situation, having proposed a 'long tail' offer able to satisfy more sectorial and niche demands.... READ MORE...
