According to the artist, the neologism “morestalgia” can be defined as “augmented nostalgia.” This is a specific kind of homesickness, whose sense of pain is similar to that caused by the feeling of envy, a feeling of lack – self-translated as loss – whose direct reference is experienced by others. Morestalgic human beings are those who have the desire to live an experience they have previously understood as a plausible one but who, instead of recalling it from their own past, supplant it with an immersive navigation experience offered by the Web.
The event is free and it will be held at the Italian Cultural Institute in Melbourne on Thursday, December the 05th, 2019.
