𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 — 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞! Brave New World invites you to imagine a future shaped not by mass production, but by the values of craftsmanship. It envisions a slower, more mindful society where resources, production, and daily life follow materially aware principles — prompting us to rethink how such a shift could transform politics, the environment, education, and everyday living.

Created in dialogue with researchers from the Hephaestuscraft.eu project, the exhibition uses artificial creativity to bring this speculative world to life, offering new perspectives and possibilities through a curated set of visual “postcards.”

𝐏𝐀𝐄𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐈 La Bertoliana ha esposto nella sezione della mostra 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙀 𝘿𝙄 𝙁𝙐𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙄 dedicata alla tematica dei paesaggi la 𝐦𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝟏𝟔𝟒𝟐 𝐝𝐚 𝐆𝐢𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞, con l’intenzione di mappare le 𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞 presenti nel territorio di 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗼, essenziali per l’irrigazione dei campi e per il funzionamento dei mulini. La mappa non è solo una testimonianza storica, ma anche un racconto del modo in cui l’uomo ha modellato il territorio, sfruttando le risorse naturali per soddisfare i propri bisogni quotidiani. In questo senso la mappa ci sollecita a riflettere sulla 𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹’𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲 con una lezione sul modo in cui il paesaggio, talvolta considerato risorsa infinita, debba essere trattato con la massima cura e progettato con consapevolezza, per 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒊 𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒊 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆. 👣 𝑻𝙍𝑨𝘾𝑪𝙀 𝘿𝑰 𝑭𝙐𝑻𝙐𝑹𝙄 - mostra d’arte contemporanea con documenti del patrimonio storico della Biblioteca civica Bertoliana 📆 fino al 30 marzo 2025 ➡ da mercoledì a sabato dalle 15.30 alle 18.30 ➡ domenica dalle 10 alle 12.30 e dalle 15.30 alle 18.30 🆓 ingresso libero 📍palazzo Cordellina, sale al piano terra | contra’ Riale 12, Vicenza Città di Vicenza | Metamorfosi Gallery #bibliotecabertoliana #vicenza #santorso #artexhibition #traccedifuturi #artecontemporanea #mostredarte #artstudies #contemporaryart #callforartist

In today's world, where mass production often overshadows handcrafted items, blacksmithing stands as a reminder of the beauty and uniqueness that creativity can bring. It reconnects us with a time when artistry and utility were intertwined, and every piece told a story of its maker.

Simon Westling ( ) was kind to invite us into his workshop, a space filled with creativity and innovation.

We are very happy to announce that our work has been selected for "Tracce di Futuri", a selection of contemporary art works on display at Biblioteca Civica Bertoliana, Vicenza. For info: Metamorfosi Gallery
