Further notes for the final text

To those who have difficulties with the Italian language.

In order to explain better the argument of the text to be prepared at the end of the couse "Machine Epistemology" you find in the following some explanation:

1) first of all, you have to choose between a text dealing with the matter "Machine utopy", and the other called "Virus ex Machina"

2) the text with reference to "Machine Utopy" must present your toughts and consideration about an utopian perspective of a society dealing with machines, having in mind your knowledge and research activities. It must be a sort of a "dream" in the future (both positive and negative)

3) the text that refers to the "Virus ex Machina" i.e. a sort of transposition in the paradigm of "deus ex machina" the artifact of the ancient Greek tragedy by which the gods had the mean tho descend to the human earth. Virus ex machina means that the machine (the artifact) now is strongly conditioning the actual covid-19 pandemic, in a sort of symbiosis between biological life and digital systems. This text must start from actuality and can be projected in the present, but also in the past or in the future, supported by your considerations but also by your imagination. It is suggested that the text must grow aroud a theme, as: Food, Health, Politics, Science, Love, Learning, Philosphy, Sport, Justice, Anthropology, etc.

4) in both cases the text must not exceed 15.000 characters (maximum 20.000) and can be written in the form you prefer (also dialogue, technical report, fairy tale, graphic novel lyrics, political report, etc.)
