HOW CAN I BE A GLOBAL CITIZEN WHILE PRESERVING MY IDENTITY?
<br>
Medieval Media conferences aim to diffuse a
radical-critic-constructive approach towards new technologies, based on
a democratic way of describing this so called Digital Era. <br>
The adjective medieval wants to underline the current condition
of Internet and new media development, stuck in a halfway point between
the asymmetrical communication and the shared one.
<br>
The Net organization is nowadays set as a Medieval hierarchy, a
feudal system whose big corporations, companies and holding-control
leaders can marginalize everything but their communication and
data-circulation modalities. Every alternative is subordinated. That
means we all are in a way forced to be stuck in a conservative approach
that can be overcome easily using the knowledge and the cultural tools
we have. <br>
Despite their huge influence, those big holdings couldn't stop
the development of technologies. The inevitable growing of new ideas on
the spreading information process is going towards the increasing use
of technological instruments that allow everyone to communicate in an
ethic and democratic way. <br>
Diametrically opposed to a techno-enthusiastic vision so typical
in these days, Medieval Media wants to reflect and make people think
about all the alternatives made possible by a critic and conscious use
of new technologies.
