THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM OF FUTURE DESIGN FOR HUMAN BODY INTERACTION

The idea on which the International Symposium of Future De- sign for Human Body Interaction1 is based – and so is this book, whose main aim is to describe the project – was born in 2020, during a historical period that the current circumstances now- adays authorize to define as pre-Covid time. Nonetheless, the pandemic situation itself can be considered as the most explicit demonstration of how the intrinsic bond between humans and their body, while too often neglected, needs to be re-conducted at the center of a discourse that aims to discuss the individual in its complexity. The Symposium was born to build a network of professional researchers who deeply investigate the state of the art and the possible future evolutions of human-machine interfaces.
