“WIRED” SERIES
I ask myself now what effect technology is having on our daily lives.I grew up with analog photography. When I was young, photographers would spend almost half their time in the darkroom, and much of their income went to pay the bills of the lab. In the 1970s, I was astonished when my father arrived with a hologram. All kinds of photography-related technological novelties appeared at my house, for my father to test. I not only had the opportunity to conduct tests with the hologram, I also experienced the first color photo processing, the first electronic flash, the first digital camera.
In parallel, as time went by I witnessed the gradual transformation of the profession of photographer, the one who used to be entrusted with leaving a record of the passage of a life and the important events in each person’s life.
Yes, science and technology every day bring improvements in our wellness and entertainment, and in many ways they improve the quality of our life. But age-old questions persist: Where do we go when we die? What is the best way to live? How do we nourish the spirit? What is the soul?
