Le tecnologie digitali che pervadono la nostra vita quotidiana – intelligenza artificiale (IA), realtà virtuale (VR) e realtà aumentata (AR) – ci si presentano innanzitutto come “nuove”. Tuttavia, le promesse che tali tecnologie ci rivolgono, i desideri che speriamo di soddisfare ricorrendovi, l’immaginario che alimentano con forza e i discorsi che le narrano non sono affatto nuovi. Al contrario, affondano le loro radici nel terreno che per millenni è stato concretamente vissuto dalle comunità umane nelle varie esperienze del sacro, del magico e del soprannaturale, lavorato in lungo e in largo dalle mitologie, dalle religioni e dalle ideologie, e formulato in concetti e dogmi dalla riflessione teologica e anche politica. Il contributo mira a esaminare alcuni casi di studio in cui l’applicazione delle nuove tecnologie di produzione d’immagine rivela lo sfondo teologico di AI, VR e AR, nella dialettica di disincanto/reincanto dell’esperienza.

Abstract
The digital technologies that pervade our daily lives - artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) - present themselves to us first and foremost as “new”. However, the promises these technologies hold out to us, the desires we hope to fulfil by resorting to them, the imagery they powerfully nurture, and the discourses that narrate them are by no means new. On the contrary, they are rooted in the ground that for millennia has been concretely experienced by human communities in the various experiences of the sacred, the magical and the supernatural, worked far and wide by mythologies, religions and ideologies, and formulated into concepts and dogmas by theological and even political reflection. The contribution aims to examine some case studies in which the application of new image production technologies reveals the theological background of AI, VR and AR, in the dialectic of disenchantment/re-enchantment of experience.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
