Generation is the theme of Internet Festival 2024, taking place in Pisa from 10 to 13 October and on-line until December 2024. An unmissable appointment with workshops, T-tours, seminars, exhibitions, installations, games and events for a full immersion in the Internet universe.
‘Generation’ is the natural and biological process by which living beings reproduce, ensuring the continuity and survival of the species itself. It is also an artificial dividing line by which we map the evolution of human society. Generations follow one another in time: each is a universe in itself, but none is an island because they are bound together by incessant exchanges of knowledge and ideas.
In the age of artificial intelligence, the concept of generation is in perpetual evolution. Human ingenuity and creativity lead us along itineraries full of possibilities where we can question the generative value of the human being.
In an era characterised by the reorganisation of knowledge and the creation of new works, new forms of an increasingly complex and articulated future are emerging. To understand and deal with this new reality, it is necessary to establish a dialogue between generations and to reflect deeply on the actions of the human being, the engine and guide of the generative process, in order to navigate and shape future emerging scenarios.

On 30 April 1986, Italy connected from Pisa to the Internet for the first time! At the CNUCE Institute of the CNR, formerly the University of Pisa’s National Centre for Electronic Computing, the first Internet node in Italy was activated. A prestigious university city of international standing, Pisa confirms its vocation for research and analysis of possible future scenarios with initiatives of interest and media depth. Among these is the Internet Festival, which represents the only event in Italy that tackles with scientific lucidity a subject that is not easy to analyse. The Festival venues are in the city centre and are all within walking distance.
