| Summary: | For several decades now, we have been living through
rapidly accelerating technological change, at a
moment in history in which digitization is remaking
the relationship between knowledge and humanity.
Until recently, the act of passing down our history
from generation to generation was entrusted to
the voluntary or involuntary production of material
witnesses. But in today’s growing digital ecosystem,
historical memory has turned into data, computer
architectures, and algorithmic interpretations. It
is important not to approach this in purely technological
terms, but instead as a real epistemological
revolution. This not only changes the way we
do things; it is also changing the ways we perceive
them, know them, interpret them, and rework
them. History, culture, and knowledge are all part
of an evolving information ecosystem, which today,
more than ever, is based on the possibility of direct
interaction, immediate accessibility, and dynamic
modularity. All of this requires new skills and new
methodologies, born from an encounter between
humanistic knowledge and technology.
