We’ll Show You (Who We Are):
Screens and us after one year of Pandemic
It was March 5th, 2020, and Italy had already fallen into the Coronavirus emergency when, during an online video forum, I heard the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco suggest considering the pandemic as the first major crash-test of the digital era.
At the end of the same month, the title of an article published in the “New York Times” stated that Coronavirus Ended the Screen-Time Debate. Screens Won.
One year of screen experiences in pandemic times seems to give us a new understanding of practices, implications, impacts, and transformations related to our relations to screens.
Mauro Carbone is Distinguished Professor of Aesthetics at the Faculté de Philosophie of the University Jean Moulin Lyon 3, and an Honorary Member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Influenced by phenomenology, in particular by Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy, his present researches focus on the contemporary screen experiences and how they are changing our relations with ourselves, the others, the world. His most recent book is titled Philosophy-Screens. From Cinema to Digital Revolution, SUNY Press, 2019.
Juan Carlos De Martin is a Berkman Klein Faculty Associate and the Faculty co-director and co-founder of the NEXA Center for Internet & Society at the Politecnico of Torino, Italy. Juan Carlos De Martin is a computer engineering professor focusing on the interaction between digital technologies and society and on multimedia processing. His most recent research interest is the future of university in the Internet age, a topic on which he published the book Università Futura - Tra Democrazia e Bit (in Italian, Codice Edizioni, 2017). In 2012 he edited, together with Melanie Dulong de Rosnay, The Digital Public Domain: Foundations for an Open Culture (OpenBookPublishers, UK). Juan Carlos De Martin serves as member of the Scientific Board of the Institute of the Italian Encyclopedia Treccani and of Biennale Democrazia. He is an op-ed writer for the Italian newspaper "la Repubblica" and he often acts as a commentator in Italian media.
