Ben Lerner: «Siamo tutti poeti perché siamo esseri umani»

«l’attenzione poetica è preziosa in un mondo in cui la nostra attenzione è catturata, monetizzata e colonizzata dalla luce blu degli schermi e dagli algoritmi»

l tema del festival 2084 di quest’anno è “Cose da salvare”.

“Weird dancing in all-night computer-banking lobbies. Unauthorized pyrotechnic displays. Land-art, earthworks as bizarre alien artifacts strewn in State Parks. Burglarize houses but instead of stealing, leave Poetic-Terrorist objects.”
