User Experience, an hope for trade and live event in the post Covid-19 era.

With vaccines, anything can be done, thanks in part to technology that helps create safer, more usable spaces. Often technology becomes more human, to get closer to what are the needs of users, and in recent years of Covid-19 pandemic there have been many cases to confirm what we said. A historical period that has marked all, for various reasons, we are now dedicated to explore what have been…

Can clean energy and aesthetics coexist? Credits: Andrew Pogue When Elon Musk became co-founder of Tesla in 2003, he wasn’t the only one who wanted to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles. Numerous manufacturers understood, just as he did, that the market for clean cars was a blue ocean, as they say in the jargon, an area where there was a lot to gain. The example of Tesla: beauty…

ITA/ Tra fine ottobre e inizio novembre, due città sono diventate capitali europee della cultura, della creatività, dell’innovazione. Lisbona e Torino, così lontane ma allo stesso tempo vicine e legate da un “fil rouge” che da anni porta decine di migliaia di persone nelle due città in questo periodo dellì’anno, per incontrarsi rispettivamente grazie all’arte e alla tecnologia. Alla base di tutto la creatività, espressa sotto forma di opere d’arte o di prodotti hi-tech, tutto parte grazie ad un’idea che nasce da un bisogno. A Torino da anni Artissima, Paratissima, The Others, Flashback, Dama, animano il capolouogo piemontese, diventando l’epicentro dell’arte contemporanea, dove tutta Europa si incontra affamata di fotografia, di tele colorate, di oggetti complessi da costriure ma che hanno come obbiettivo, quello di trasformare sensazioni in arte. Tutto culmina poi nel sabato delle Arti Contemporanee in cui musei, gallerie ed eventi sparsi per la città accendono la notte grazie anche alle serate a base di musica elettronica in cui Movement e Club to Club suonano i “dati” che creano brani e sonorità energizzanti per tutta la notte. Subito dopo, ancora carichi dall’adrenalina sabauda a Lisbona, si iniziano a ritorvare da ogni parte del globo le più grandi aziende tech del mondo, in una cornice di startups, di speakers, di innovatori che danno vita al Web Summit. Qui per tutta la settimana, centinaia di conferenze animano i palchi in cui si parla di tutto, ma quest’anno i dati, sembrano essere il tema principale. Non fosse che ad aprire i lavori insieme al fondatore del Summit, Paddy Cosgrave, come ospite in videoconferenza, c’è il famoso ed esiliato Edward Snowden, scappato per le sue rivelazioni sulla National Secutiry Agency degli Stati Uniti. I dati sono tutto, sono parte delle vite degli inventori e degli artisiti che con i loro prodotti e soluzioni, mirano a cambiare il mondo. Guida autonoma, software che analizzano le vite delle persone, nuovi strumenti per la ricerca medica o per aiutare le persone nella vita di tutti i giorni, i dati sono diventati importantissimi perchè se compresi e utilizzati nella maniera corretta, possono valere soldi, come accade proprio con le opere d’arte. Robot che disegnano nuove opere in maniera autonoma, guidati solo dalla casualità, gli stessi che comandanti in maniera precisa da algoritmi sofisticati, riescono a salvare vite di persone grazie ad operazioni chirurgiche complesse. Questi sono i legami che conducono nuovi artisti e ingegneri a vivere lo stesso sogno, spesso guidati da intuizioni geniali che danno vita a soluzioni che segneranno per sempre il destino del mondo. Abbiamo incontrati artisti famosi ed emergenti, venture capitalist e designer, creativi ed innovatori, tutti con una visione chiara e promettente del futuro. Questi sono i motivi per cui, per 10 giorni, vale la pena essere a Torino e Lisbona.

ENG/ Between October and November, two cities became European capitals of culture, creativity and innovation. Lisbon and Turin, so far away but in the same time close and linked by a “fil rouge” that for years has brought tens of thousands people to the two cities at this time of year, to meet respectively thanks to art and technology. Creativity, expressed in the form of works of art or hi-tech products, is the base of everything, and everything starts thanks to an idea that comes from a need. In Turin for years Artissima, Paratissima, Flashback, The Others, Dama animates the Piedmont capital, becoming the epicenter of contemporary art, where the whole of Europe meets hungry for photography, colorful canvases, complex objects to be constrained but that have as their goal, to transform feelings into art. Everything then culminates in the Saturday of the Contemporary Arts where museums, galleries and events scattered around the city light up the night thanks to the evenings based on electronic music in which Movement and Club to Club play the “data” that create songs and sounds energizing throughout the night. Immediately afterwards, still charged with the adrenaline of the Savoy in Lisbon, the greatest tech companies in the world begin to return from all over the world, in a setting of startups, speakers, innovators who give life to the Web Summit. Here for the whole week, hundreds of conferences animate the stages where everything is discussed, but this year the data, seem to be the main theme. If it weren’t for the fact that the Summit’s founder, Paddy Cosgrave, opened the proceedings together with the famous and exiled Edward Snowden, who escaped for his revelations about the National Secutiry Agency of the United States, as a videoconference guest. Data is everything, they are part of the lives of inventors and artists who, with their products and solutions, aim to change the world. Autonomous guidance, software that analyzes people’s lives, new tools for medical research or to help people in everyday life, data have become very important because if understood and used properly, they can be worth money, as it happens with works of art. Robots that draw new works independently, guided only by chance, the same ones that command precisely by sophisticated algorithms, are able to save lives of people through complex surgical operations. These are the bonds that lead new artists and engineers to live the same dream, often guided by brilliant insights that give rise to solutions that will forever mark the fate of the world. We met famous and emerging artists, venture capitalists and designers, creatives and innovators, all with a clear and promising vision for the future. These are the reasons why, for 10 days, it is worth being in Turin and Lisbon.
