"I see this crisis in a continuous way, the world is constantly in a
crisis, I formulate this as ‘cultural epileptiscm’ [3], that is that
humans tend to loose themselves into extremes, whether these being
emotional or rational. The last century is exemplary for this."

"Something that was widely expected is happening, even is the
acceleration of the economic crisis (and not only financial) is pressing
everything against a striking evidence. Resources for culture are about
to be drastically cut. And a large part of the professional setups based
on public sibsides risks disappearance."

"lifestyle is in itself a part of the unavoidable speculative process of
turbocapitalism, in which cool hunters understand the languages of the
scenes to transform them into a banal aesthetization that can be sold
for a couple of years. A lemon squeezer for cultural production where
the experience of the sublime, the sense of disaster, the impact of
deflagration, the elimination of the roots, the collapse of the future,
disperse themselves in a sterile pantomime that is constructed in a
laboratory, and makes me throw up."

Three different points of view on the international crisis, engaging
innovation, new media related practices, network culture, research on
bodies, genders, social relations, empathy and connectedness. From
public institutions to our bodies, in the globally evolving scenario.
