Stay Human! Utopias and Dystopias in the Digital Age

The group exhibition Restiamo umani! Utopie e distopie nell’era digitale (Stay Human! Utopias and Dystopias in the Digital Age), presented by Marignana Arte in collaboration with Kosmos Contemporary Venice APS at Spazio Berlendis, inaugurates the first edition of the Premio Berlendis and brings together twenty-five artists under 40, selected for their ability to critically interrogate the transformations generated by today’s technological revolution.

Through diverse languages and media, the works address key themes such as artificial intelligence, virtual realities, and the redefinition of identity within the digital ecosystem, offering reflections on the ethical, social, and cultural implications of progress. The exhibition unfolds as a platform for dialogue between utopian and dystopian visions, where the relationship between humanity and technology becomes a field of inquiry into the tensions and possibilities of the present.
