txt: The Slow Movement: Making a Connection
Why is this happening? What is wrong? What are we searching for? The one thing that is common to all these trends is connection. We are searching for connection. We want connection to people – ourselves, our family, ourcommunity, our friends, – to food, to place (where we live), and to life. We want connection to all that it means to live – we want to live a connected life.

txt: Perché un festival del copyleft – Copyleft Festival 2008
La sequenza più logica sarebbe: l’opera circola gratis, il gradimento si trasforma in passaparola, ne traggono beneficio la celebrità e la reputazione dell’autore, quindi aumenta il suo spazio di manovra all’interno dell’industria culturale e non solo. E’ un circolo virtuoso.

Imagine: I never took a chisel in my hands, never even had a studio.
