It starts at 10:30 am in the REC Meeting Room at the Community Fresh!

With Marco Dodaro, Matteo Favarelli and Daniele Luchi, we’ll be wondering how creativity will evolve in the Metaverse. We’ve gone from canvas and brush to graphics tablets. How did the idea of art evolve? Have new technologies changed the creativity and expectations of consumers and artists?
