Narratives of a Near Future is meant as a critical space to question our relationship to time from a methodological and ontological point of view (REWIND FORWARD), to explore the current and future relations between human and their environment (INHABIT THE ANTHROPOCENE), to investigate the future mutations related to the widespread digitization (DEPROGRAMMING / REPROGRAMMING ), and to consider body representations and its hybridisations with technologies (COLLECTIVE SUPER EGOS)
