The Art of Balance #79| Neil Powell, how will you communicate?

The artist and curator is the 79th participant in the initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”, launched by Cittadellarte. Neil Powell reflects on the role of technology in the present and in the future, emphasising that “try as we do for meaning and humanity through the medium of internet and OLED, there is little doubt in most minds that deep down we all really know that this is a sterile proxy for human interaction”. This episode’s guest then talks about the impact of the pandemic on modern society: “My earnest wish is that the firebreak of Covid will not denude us of this possibility, either by creating new phobias around intimacy or that we lose the vital part of our humanity, that is to read a person’s communication in a holistic way”.

Daniele Cipriani reflects on the impact of the Coronavirus at global level, defining it “the first planetary ‘performative’ experience in the history of humanity that has ‘embraced’ the whole planet Earth”. This episode’s guest then talks about life post-Covid-19 and answers one of the key questions of the project: “My language will be made of facts rather than words, it will be the final action of a new way of thinking. Not surprisingly, my thinking and my speaking are at the service of art, a universal language, and in particular of dance, which is considered the oldest form of human language”.
