NeRVi – Neo Realismo Virtuale

A new narrative, sitting across the borders running between materiality and immateriality, organic and inorganic, architecture and body.

These borders have been deleted by digital technologies in the contemporary era, perpetrating a continuous shift from object to communication, from product to service, from the mass to a plurality of multi-viduals.

NeoRealismo Virtuale dives into this scenario, hybridizing disciplines and practices

From Baudelaire, to Benjamin, to the contemporary flaneur.
