#15 Techno-ecology

Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

TAMA TREE. Collaborate in resetting the planet’s techno-ecological balance... grow your own virtual tree!!!

UNIVERSITY OF STUDIES OF ROME “LA SAPIENZA”

Fabio Amoroso

Techno-ecology: making for a maternally caring relationship between the natural and the artificial. A fine balance and humankind is its keeper.

Fabio Amoroso - Lucia Cesarone

As in any game, the survival of the environment depends on the intelligent use of resources.

Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

FUTURE. Symbiotic fusion... in search of technological knowledge... to once more discover that the path to follow passes through nature.

Mario Aquaro

Servants to progress Techno strain on and drain of environmental and human resources.

Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

CORRUPTION. Nature wounded and defiled by ongoing technological incursions...

Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

ACIRBBAF. A dream world, a fantasy universe, the ancestral dream of a symbiotic coexistence, a technology truly in the service of nature

Eirini Skafida

ENVIROMENT. It’s our options that can turn our relationship with the environment into an asset. When technology combines with eco-friendly awareness, then there’s hope for a viable future.

Mario Aquaro

THE SOLUTION? Several issues are raised and possible solutions suggested, except one... (correspondence identified by colour)

Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

THE ROBOT AND I. Collaboration... a path to be walked down together, man and machine, to protect and to care for the greatest resource of all.

Fabio Amoroso - Lucia Cesarone

Technological development depends on a natural metamorphosis for re-establishing a primeval balance…

Rosa Elena Celestino

The hands represent man, because they’re what distinguish us from other lifeforms, permitting us to make our own future ourselves. Technology is the potential that man holds within those hands, and only man can decide whether it is to be used for better or for worse. In this case technology can and must be used to defend life, shown here emblematically as a delicate flower.

Rosa Elena Celestino

Changing the equation: the marriage of man and technology has the potential for changing what that marriage produces and in doing so pollutes the planet, thus making up for their errors.

Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

IDENTITY. A new identity, a universe strained through the technological sieve that has reached a stage that it cannot be put aside or undone. A symbiotic relationship between nature and technology, man and machine.

Fabio Amoroso - Lucia Cesarone

TECHNO-ECOLOGY: for seeing beyond the seeable.

Eirini Skafida

ECO-SYSTEM. The set of organisms living in any given and spatially limited natural habitat are inseparably linked to one another and give rise to mutual interactions.

Valeria Ringegni

Separately collected fraction is emblematic of the attention that should be given to recycling, technology, and to the state of the planet at large!

Eirini Skafida

PACKAGING. Regardless of what’s packed into an object, what counts and what makes it appealing is its outer packaging, and that’s where a bit of technoecology can make the difference.

Paolo Tesei

IS KYOTO ENOUGH? There’s a lot of hard feeling at the continued refusal by the U.S. and China to sign the Kyoto Protocol. But is the Protocol really enough to save the environment? Seeing as the dollar (our one and only religion) is what make our world tick, will technoecology suffice to turn the tables on the prevailing pollution/profit order of things?

Valeria Ringegni

A preview of technologies to come!

Filippo Pernisco

Technology: makes life easier but it’s a mixed blessing. Collateral damages have to be kept under check!

Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

EN PLAN AIR. A deceptive landscape like an en plan air painting in which technology and ecology merge and appear to be the same.

Andrea Camillini

ECO-COLOUR. Add technology and the natural colour of a leaf is just like you want it.

Roberto Avenoso
