Il 22 Ottobre sono stato onorato di partecipare a “Digital Transformation Extended Future Outlook: Challenges, Adversaries, Divides & Opportunities”, tavola rotonda suddivisa in due giorni che si teneva a Sofia ma i cui interventi, causa COVID-19, si svolgevano online. Organizzatore e chair dell’evento è stato Zlatogor Minchev, figura importante in campo internazionale nell’ambito delle tecnologie, in particolare quelle della sicurezza, fondatore nonché presidente di Secure Digital Future 21.
Nella presentazione gli obiettivi dell’evento:
The activity has been organized in celebration of the 3rd jubilee of “Secure Digital Future 21” international expert forum initiative, founded by Joint Training Simulation & Analysis Center, Institute of ICT, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and aims to gather expert thoughts, innovations and concerns for the societal agility & resilience multiple necessities, achievements and perspectives towards a more secure and bright future.
Il mio intervento si intitolava “Technologies of Distance and Simulation: a Perspective from the Humanities and the Arts”, e si proponeva di inquadrare, nell’ambito di una prospettiva che cercava di coniugare la dimensione umanistica e quella scientifica, due aspetti che – nonostante esistano dalle origini dell’umanità e del linguaggio simbolico – il COVID-19 ha reso oggi imprescindibili e fondamentali, profondamente connessi: la distanza (dagli altri, dal lavoro, dalle cose, ecc.) e la simulazione (la costruzione, tramite le tecnologie, di modelli del reale).
Tutti gli interventi saranno pubblicati in un volume in inglese.

My presentation was entitled “Technologies of Distance and Simulation: a Perspective from the Humanities and the Arts”, and had the purpose to frame, within a perspective trying to combine the humanistic and scientific dimensions, two aspects that – despite the fact that they exist from the origins of humanity and symbolic language – COVID-19 has made essential and fundamental today, and that are deeply connected: distance (from other people, from work, from things, etc.) and simulation (the construction, through technologies, of models of reality).
All the presentations will be published in a book in English.
