The screening of “Ghost in the Shell” will immerse us in one of the cornerstones of Japanese animation, a visionary work that explores the boundaries between body, identity and technology. The film, directed by Mamoru Oshii, explores a future in which humans and machines merge, raising profound questions about the meaning of consciousness, the evolution of artificial intelligence and the fate of the individual in a hyperconnected society.
Next, the talk by Luca Perri (astrophysicist and science communicator) will offer an original look at the relationship between science and science fiction: how imagined inventions influence real research, and how science, in turn, fuels new speculative narratives. A journey through the history of the ideas that have shaped both the imagination and scientific progress.
The evening will conclude with an open debate, during which the audience will be invited to take part with questions, reflections and curiosities.
