Since 2016 I started Post-Internet Era, a long-form documentary narrative, that shows a wide range of stories related to innovative technologies seen as the key point for a new global cycle. Big data, artificial intelligence, cybernetics and behavioral economics are shaping our society"for better or worse. If such widespread technologies are not compatible with our society's core values, sooner or later they will cause extensive damage to the democratic process, worldwide. Cooperating with researchers, data analysts, visual artists and writers, I'm committed to show how fundamental new technologies inherently are for any social, economical and environmental change.


MAIN TOPICS (PRESENT+ FUTURE)

  • the rising of new e-models for e-governance

WORK-FIELD AND -AR- AUGMENTED REALITY FEATURES FOR SMARTPHONES 

Every story of Post-Internet Era is faced with an independent work-filed and aesthetic. They will all be published on the multimedia platform www.post-internet-era.com

The website will have a desktop visualization and will feature an innovative open-source integrated Augmented Reality instant app (no need to download a AR software on your smartphone!), working on any smartphone on the market and able to give an interactive in-depth to all the stories part of the project.
My intention is to offer users an impactful, detailed and innovative way to experience documentary photography.
