Sometimes I experience - as if it were the effect of a landslide - the extraordinary dynamic acceleration impressed throughout the Anthropocene by the interminable series of changes, mutations of thought, sociability, communication and customs in which we are immersed.
Among the many thoughts that this causes me, there is one in particular that occupies my spaces for reflection and that concerns what I consider a great loss, that is the prevailing lack of empathy that is today observable at all times, latitude or situation.
We no longer understand each other and the usual codes seem less and less suitable for putting us in communication. I thought that translating the ancient Tables of the Law - which with the 10 Commandments have always guided a large part of humanity - delivered by Javè to Moses 3700 years ago on Mount Sinai, could help today's digitized humanity to return to understanding each other. Translated in this way, in binary code, they appear to me to be more appropriate and in step with our times.
Ten Commandments 2.0 I called them, I have great hope in them.
