Marco Pozzi

“I have always preferred Visions to Previsions in the belief that only visionaries manage to be truly revolutionary. I dream of a world in which the human being is able to SEE, to really see what he is looking at. A world that lives the sense of time and gives meaning to Time, accepting the sense of limit, finitude. A world that reads crises (ecological, Covid19, etc.) as an opportunity. A world in which Humanity, Technology and Ethics go hand in hand. An original, unruly and imaginative human ecosystem in which Intelligence and Consciousness walk together.”
