The fourth edition of the project curated by Numero Cromatico
Lately, the international debate has been focusing on the impact of humans on the ecosystems of the earth and beyond. The Anthropocene – being the alterations that mankind is forcing on the balance of nature – has turned into something we must tackle without dithering. Based on this very premise, the theme chosen for this issue of Nodes is COEXISTENCE – corresponding to a way of thinking about the virtuous coexistence among human beings and the ecosystem, as well as the latter and new artificial technologies. This issue’s column is curated by Numero Cromatico.
The image chosen for the fourth edition of Nodes Limited Edition Print is “Io divento eterno” by Numero Cromatico, 2021, Risograph print on Favini Crush Kiwi 250 g.
