In "Do We Need This?", the artist superimposes this question through a digital filter on television images broadcast live. The streaming channel is RAI, the national broadcasting company, which has entertained generations of children in Albania, the artist’s country of origin, and contributed to their learning Italian.
The artist invites the public to question the media’s role in our lives today, and the consequences of the bombardment of images and fake news to which we are subjected. The work appears more relevant than ever due to the pandemic that has upset our daily lives and dramatically increased our dependence on digital media.
