WINNER OF THE CONTEST “XR FESTIVAL” in FLORENCE
The thread of memory, woven with bits and light, connects past, present, and future, revealing the ambiguous promise of digital eternity. A modern echo of myth, in which fire is no longer stolen from the gods, but memory is stolen from time. Seemingly insignificant objects, overlooked by daily life, become relics of a receding era. Like time itself, digitalization is an unstoppable, elusive flow that archives everything it touches, yet sometimes empties it of its soul. Its existence is a paradox: it saves what might otherwise vanish, but in doing so transforms it, abstracts it, reassembles it in another form. Time and digitalization share a subtle curse: both absorb lived life, crystallize it, and subtract it from the present.
