Thanks to the TOPIX Consortium you can see the Share 2006 conferences in streaming video that were made by the students of the Accademia Albertina and directed by Alessandro Tannoia.
The theme of the 2006 Festival, held on occasion of the Torino 2006 XX Winter Olympics, during the Paralympic Games, was the idea of the Limitless, or the crossing of the ultimate limit. In the information technology society, this theme is the subject of an engaging intellectual debate animating research into technology. Network communications, virtual reality, intelligent environments, but also open source code, the copyright/copyleft distinction, and the Creative Commons license are the new technological and legal contexts in which we are now learning to live together, designed as they are to overcome the space-time dimension, overcome physicality, overcome the constraints of the body, and overcome the digital divide.
