Abstract(s)
Digital technologies are ubiquitous in modern life. They mediate many of our daily actions, particularly those involving other humans, providing us information of all sorts and connectiveness with almost anything. This condition, in addition to the rises of artificial intelligence, the internet of things and quantum computers, has prompted many important discussions about the way humans and machines interact and relate (or should relate to each other in the near future). Yet, a common feeling of something “human” being lost is felt by many people. What are we losing and what´s the responsibility of the digital technologies? It is not an
easy answer. I believe that in the past decade, the transformation of our “feeling of passing time” is perhaps one of the most noticeable traces of how computers affect our daily life. Old New Technologies #1 is an audiovisual installation proposing to merge old and new technologies to create a feeling of “slowing down the
passage of time”. It does so by inviting individuals to pick up an old rotary telephone, to dial a number from a list and to listen and see an audiovisual postcard. Take your time, recover your time, feel your body. Enjoy. Breath.
