vsebina

Inspired by The Scent of Lemons by Jonah Lynch, this workshop explores the exchange that occurs between humans and our technologies. Each gain comes with losses, and we feel the need to clarify our relationship with the technologies that in ever more elegant and hidden ways accompany our lives. Through personal reflection and group discussion, we will examine how our attention, perception of the world, and relationships are influenced by technology. We will also explore what it means to shift from saying, 'See you online!' to' See you at the usual bar!', questioning, as the American writer Wendell Berry does, whether we have become too willing to let machines dictate the terms of our lives.

Lynch reminds us: “Every place is singular, and every person is unique.” To truly embrace this reality, we may need to experiment with a little technological fasting — not as a restriction, but as a way to rediscover freedom and presence in our daily lives.

This workshop offers an opportunity to step back, reflect, and engage with the world in a more immediate and sensory way.
