La più antica e sofisticata tecnologia del mondo | Alex Barocco | TEDxNovara


today I feel lucky with

the opportunity to greet you of

introduce myself and give you a certainty to tell you

what are they?

well I am a human being you are one

obvious thing you already know that I’m one

be human but because you know it

because you saw me as soon as I am

appeared on this stage because now they are

here in front of you in all mine

humanity

yes because thinking about it is a bit

no luck these days to know

someone

meeting him in person even yes

can become friends on the platform

digital no know that is

undertake something more that goes to the

beyond seeing see something

deeper

but the world today as it does to look for me like

it makes you stand out among many to know me

maybe with this image I can

answer my question or maybe not

Well this is me at least this

information to the world

more than enough here is everything

what contemporary society

he feels the need today to know about me and

to be faster, more effective for

make things work better but there

I ask a question to you here in this

room to you humans

just what kind of person I can be

What an idea you have made of but

looking at this picture I can be

summarized effectively through one

sequence of letters and numbers or if

I’ll show you these images instead

what happens to you

Well, I think something happened to me

more inside of you because the eyes the

smile the expression the face is the

so strong representation of mine

humanity to have you instinctively

provoked an emotion in my opinion

the emotion that empathy and therefore there

he created this extraordinary thing

because we remember our face

communicate and communication is one of the

bigger with these humans

I for example for how I am made

especially I always feel like I need to

communicate something about me to the world

surrounding and I do it in all ways

possible

for example in addition to my word to

my face is also capable of producing

this is what this is, this is one

sophisticated sequence of movements

of my body of my arm of mine

hand guided by my mind from mine

brain from my eyes

all these things together produce

a discounted but highly action

qualified

It is a very personal message that you

then translates into a gesture and this is not

any gesture is something that is

he can read and this is extraordinary and

extraordinary that man has invented

a set of signs that can

become letters together with letters that

words can become a set of

words that can become thought and

paradoxically surprisingly high and

sophisticated technology our

writing

maybe we do not realize that anymore

we are able to create this

exceptional type of trace a message

which is the representation of ourselves

that can not be copied can not

be expected but above all it registers

the state of mind we are experiencing

the moment we are tracing it

what more I like about this track

well surely in such a world

digital its uniqueness so rare

its strength its energy its

my personality in this case I have

writing desk

its beauty and its dynamism

his extraordinary ability to

transform the flow of my thoughts

in writing

his sincerity I can not help

less of my track because through

it expresses my ideas better

I remember things better and I train mine

hand to be more precise and therefore a

create more and more beautiful things and this

point seems to me a bit to hear i

your thoughts

yes, ok, but we understood her

will certainly do a lot more work

sensitive to these things is much more

we partly have some training

right, I work in a sector

sensitive to these issues or at least

it was that it requires knowledge

competence on these issues for the

the less I did it I’m part of the world

of graphic design communication

of the lettering and above all of the

calligraphy and you heard well

calligraphy ie beautiful handwriting one thing

surpassed ancient you are certain I have chosen

a long time ago doing this job and

I realize that a lot of people do not

he realizes and does not know it without it

the training that this particular

discipline from in the perception of the

spaces of the whites of the blacks of the empty ones

full in composition and much more e

this work does not work so well

all the italdesign graphic designers

they should know this particular

discipline and sorry if you own it

knowledge as a good doctor

of the anatomy of the letter and it is said

that’s right

anatomy of the letter in typography

without the knowledge of his

anamnesis of its structure of his

history

the creative is not able to find

to then make the diagnosis and then to

to create then find the solution to

creative message allows

to the graphic designer to modernize

the ancient and therefore to adapt to the

present and invent new ones

credible anatomy contemporary letters

live letters that can then

quietly be part of the world

digital because even the completed ones

the characters you use

inside with your computer all

the days

Well, someone put them in it

they are born with the machine and chile put

inside a human a tile designer from

precision with his knowledge

sensitivity and then its track and then

along with the car the executive is there

the transformation of his from his

I work in digital and I often reflect

these issues

I sincerely fight a bit I’m sincere

the tendency to think that technology

it will replace us in all ours

life experiences and that this will be a

let’s say our future

Well I agree but I’m very

firmly convinced that the work

team is the best way

I work first with the mind then with the

my hands and then at the end with the car

because I believe that human action is

base of the things that is in the say the

research and project design

it’s really essential to reach

high quality results you must

think that the study of the history of the

calligraphy of the historical styles of

writing allow the creative to

example of inventing the brand in the sense

credible is that a credible project

effective and brand of a company la

head of a newspaper the cover of

a book and many other elements

acts for the communicative message and the

calligraphy moreover today though

difficult to think of it is my business

more alive in all its expressions

as for example I teach italics al

to training courses for

teachers of the primary hold

calligraphy workshops in schools

with students really of all ages

and of every level

I teach lettering to graphic design

certainly the historical writing with

ink ski brushes certainly though

even the tattoo artists if we want one

particular profession is interested

to his type discipline and approaches for

improve their work el

unsuspected unsuspected topicality

of calligraphy and here I would like

stop for a moment let’s open one

brackets to the world of school is a

field of action which I hold dear because

in such a digital world and in a

moment when handwriting

let’s say it is considered a little bit

taken for granted it does not seem to me not so much

priority in teaching and came to

remember of my experience that the

calligraphy done well in schools has

of incredible repercussions on many

other skills that are anyway

the memory required by students

effective and fast learning

the order written and oral production

adequate the accuracy of the sign the cure

of the detail also has an effect

calming the calligraphy done well to

school at school ask me for help

learn to write well just because

it was understood that the basis of many

things the culture bike

learning

from my direct experience I know that the

calligraphy and all its aspects

manuals and have a resounding success a

school and especially among adolescents

who are growing up are working

to their growth and are looking for

of their identity the surprise of how

nice to write a message by hand

mine is really unsuspecting

time when they sheltered the copy

paste can transform their own

personal track in a message

readable and dedicated is an experience

that makes them fall in love and want

repeat it they want to repeat it and not if the

forget

we are however aware that the

technology however enters into each

moment of our life is now part of it

of our life

in a sense it is in my opinion

communicating a bit that of ours

we no longer need humanity

it becomes becoming a bit of a limit

not a burden

but the car with its very efficient

times its times and imposes us rhythms

that maybe they are hard to sew on

we because we are human

the machine is the car and the future

innovation repetitiveness quantity

cloning homologation summary hurry

calculation speed efficiency humanity

humanity and future innovation uniqueness

quality originality creativity

slowness narration culture intelligence

fantasy surprise invention discovery

idea genius and then we are tempo the rhythm

time pulsates within us

handwriting and with a breath

beat that simply reminds us that

we are living our writing is

a dance done with the whole body

it can be traced in the air is one

sort of meditation made of silence

and to us humans of silence it is very good

how nice to write, for example

message to a person with us we want

good to dedicate the two things to you today

precious that we have the time and the

our sign that is the expression

our letters are authentic to us

they come out of our tool can

the pen is the pen

the marker pen does not matter

we only put those letters on it

us inside because only we do them

so are we writing that way it is

the more we do them

and the more they become beautiful is the application

some beauty rules like

consequence of the application of the

rules and a regular rhythm but they are

aware I can not do without anymore

of my phone to put me in

contact

I can no longer do without mine

computer to do the executive for the

print and then to satisfy my client

I can not do without the scanner anymore

but that is a best friend of mine

constitutes the link between my hand and

the digital platform my scanner

that allows me to keep

perfectly intact my integrity

personal sign and carry it

within my digital project the

my scanner that allows me to

keep all the experience whole

more accumulated dexterity matured in

all these years and that computer alone

it will never be able to create by itself it will not be able to

never recreate it then it is natural

evolution

in my opinion the coexistence of the heart

mind algorithm beauty machine

Automation our head

and the bits that pulsate within us

join the big techs creating one

force one does not exclude or replace it

the other our personality ours

dexterity is intact creates beauty not

comes into conflict with technology

because if used well it completes us and

varies to fill the voids of ours

imperfections

yes because we are imperfect but

unique and brilliant and extraordinarily

human and einstein computers

they are incredibly fast and accurate

stupid men are incredibly

intelligent inaccurate lenses

the whole of the two constitutes a force

incalculable and I would like to finish

this my reflection of mine

bringing a thought back to a moment

text that struck me a lot

written by Mario Perniola he said that

what we lack today is not certain

in the news in the data in the

information however we are overwhelmed by

news data and fit

and somehow we can not

appropriating

we can not do our waistlines

this data this information

become authentic communication

it is necessary that someone take the honor and

the burden of making it a kind of translation

legendary to turn into stories

those that are only data and well me

here I see very much of mine

experience especially when I work with

the boys is this magic of transforming

the data in word writing and history there

gives the key to its own appropriation

information to make it our own

to store it and without writing a

hand which is a visual translation

exceptional multisensory graphics

powerful little is imprinted in ours

memory of humans

and about memory of those of you today

remember the phone numbers of the

family members and close friends

I think little maybe no one and if the

phone stops working

maybe we are here in this case

entrusted too much to his memory

perhaps memory is one of the skills

that we will do well to preserve over time

maybe it would also be nice to go to

look for which ones are also dormant and

awaken them or maybe I just have you

made you want to find the

your track also with the phone in

pocket because we are human

we want a lot more and to us humans

sequence of letters and numbers there

enough to love thanks

[Applause]
