The Super Avatars
L'idea del SuperAvatar nasce nel 2007. È un progetto d'opera che, da tempo, coltivavo nella mente parallelamente all'analisi di questioni teoriche poi confluite nella teoria dell'Intelligenza Polimorfa e nella teoria del Big Sieve e che, naturalmente, nel materializzarsi ha assunto connotati nuovi, anche grazie all'intensa cooperazione con due insostituibili coautori: Mr.B.D. ed Andrea Gabriele. Ovviamente, ci rende ancor pi intricata la gi difficile impresa di definirne e tracciarne i contorni .... READ MORE...

The Darwinian Composer
As my activity in the theoretical and academic field often involved introductions to Polymorphic Intelligence, I have been developing a series of paradigms and examples to help the reader or the listener understand (if not feel) the deep link between psyche and the cognitive styles of individuals on one side and the simple/advanced technological functions of modern computer science on the other. Among the many models one of the most popular - probably because it manages to approach the different kinds of sensitiveness among the audience - is what I call the Darwinian Composer....

Polymorphic Intelligence: Part 2
As far as we know, the human being is the most 'intelligent' organism. Their brain includes a number of fuctions so complex and sophisticated that, when the neurologist and psychologist Howard Gardner in his Frames of Mind tries to recap its structure, he comes up with seven sub-structures: Linguistic Intelligence, Logic-Mathematical Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence and Intrapersonal Intelligence....

Polymorphic Intelligence: Part 1
