Strange Days where is the border?

STRANGE DAYS WHERE IS THE BORDER? Where is the boundary between technological progress and human and social development? How is technology changing humanity and our habits? Is development sustainable and inclusive?

All paradoxes of the contemporary world that lead us to investigate the boundary between past and future, between art and science, between human and machine.

Lorenzo Acquaviva artistic director.
