This year Bergamo, our city, will be the Italian Capital of Culture, together with nearby Brescia. The occasion stimulated in us a reflection on the theme of culture, on the link between culture and digital and on its forms and the ways in which it manifests itself today. We asked ourselves: what role does culture play in our hypermodern lives today? How do we make use of it in a world where technology and digital are gaining more and more space? If once upon a time culture had an important but also exclusive role - in the true sense of the term, that is, "which excludes, for a few" - today we find it in a more democratic form, also thanks to new technologies which make it accessible to everyone and they adapt it to the rhythms of modern life.
Culture has been democratized. At the same time Denmark Phone Number List 3 Million Users this openness, this democratization, could lead to assimilating it to something that (a bit like pop music in its time and today TikTok) "lowers the level" to please everyone. Maybe we need to take a step back first. Today, what do we mean by culture? Is it still so important in everyday life? The answer we gave ourselves is that culture still has an important role in the lives of all of us, but it has transformed following the development of new technologies and digital means. It is a new way of understanding culture, towards a human and digital future at the same time. Let's try to dissect what possible transformations are or have been implemented. Starting with the concept of digital culture which we feel is right to address first. culture and digital Digital Culture: what is it? Digital culture began to develop in the 1960s , when the first projects relating to the Internet began in America.
It is from this first hub that the networks on which we now rely so much to receive information, to purchase products and services and to communicate from one end of the globe to the other branch out. Originally the Internet was used to exchange data between computers within the same network, for example between computers of the same company; It is only since the early 1990s that, thanks to Tim Berners-Lee and his World Wide Web, it has been possible to connect all the computers in the world, creating a continuous flow of ever-expanding data. The next step was the browsers which allowed the creation of the first websites , the so-called "showcase sites", with few pages and a rudimentary design. Traditional media (radio, TV, press) have adapted to the new world and the new possibilities dictated by technologies, digitizing texts, music, videos and - let's go back to the starting point - works of art.
