       The argument for the existence of life in different places in the universe can lead to endless and aimless (but fascinating) speculation. Why assume that aliens so far advanced technologically are still bound by the chains of aging bodies? As we see our own technology advancing, and our minds becoming ever more entangled with digital devices, we can envision a kind of transhuman future whereby our mind’s essence, what we (loosely) identify with our inner self and memories, becomes immaterial, soullike, tethered to reality through information alone. In his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, Arthur C. Clarke speculated that aliens would have broken away from carbon-based and robotic machine structures so “that the mind would eventually free itself from matter (…) and if there is anything beyond that, its name could only be God.”

       This is where astrotheology begins, as we envision aliens as the techno-version of godlike creatures, with the obvious subtext that one day we are going to get there too. So, not only is their technology magic to us, but their very existence becomes equivalent to a supernatural presence — omniscient, omnipresent, and undetectable by our feeble human senses and machines. Such aliens are indistinguishable from gods inhabiting the heavenly realm, being as elusive as countless deities have been throughout human history. They exist only in that intangible dimension of faith.

       Art and technology have long inspired each other, but recent advancements are driving their fusion like never before. From AI-generated art and immersive experiences to new ownership models, the creative landscape is evolving in ways we could barely imagine a few years ago. This fusion of creativity and innovation isn’t just adding to the world of art. It’s redefining it, making us rethink what art can be and who has the tools to create it. One such innovation is interactive art.

      With interactive art, artists can break down traditional boundaries between the creator and the viewer. Participatory art involves the audience directly, allowing them to influence the outcome of the artwork itself. Artists are using technologies like motion tracking, sensors, and facial recognition to create installations that change based on viewer movement, expression, or even mood.

     This level of interactivity invites viewers to move from passive observation to active participation, making them a part of the artwork’s story. This trend reflects a cultural shift toward collaboration and personalization, where audiences expect to be involved in the creative experience. Participatory art installations are not only transforming gallery experiences but also allowing viewers to experience art as an unfolding story that changes with each interaction.

Text 1A15


    Last year, I had a strange dream. My father and I were walking through a canal with difficulty as thousands of fish were released around us. In the dream, I knew that the fish thought they were drowning, as if they had to face death before becoming adults. The next day, my father told me that when I was three, he had taken me to see fish being put into a pond. I could not remember it, but the vision had stayed in my mind. Memories, like images, can return years later in unexpected ways.

    Today, it is common to see old images suddenly appear online. We spend hours looking at photos that record our daily lives in ways never seen before. For young people under twenty-five, who have grown up with social media, childhood is no longer private or mysterious. According to Kate Eichhorn, a media historian at the New School, this constant exposure is sure to affect how identity develops, although we are not yet sure exactly how.

    Eichhorn explains that there are two sides. On the positive side, children and teenagers have more control than before. In the past, adults were the ones who decided how childhood should be remembered, using books, photo albums, or home videos. Today, young people can create and share their own images without depending on adults. This gives them the power to tell their own stories and decide what to remember about their lives.

    On the negative side, social media can make it difficult to leave the past behind. We are not the only ones posting—our friends and families also share moments of our lives, often without asking us. This makes it hard to forget mistakes or change identities. Eichhorn warns that the danger now is not that childhood disappears, but that it might never end, because the past is always visible online.

    It would, indeed, be surprising if we could see painful memories as finished and gone. But most difficult experiences are not captured on screens. Social media shows only part of life, often the happy or triumphant side, and leaves out the tears and struggles. What remains online is rarely the full truth, but fragments that stay with us, shaping how we remember ourselves.

    Travelling through Brazil and not taking in the variety of local dishes and tastes of the country’s different regions definitely makes for an incomplete experience. In the northern region, for example, strongly influenced by the larger indigenous presence mixed with European immigration, local food has evolved to be quite differentiated from that of other regions. In Brazil, the mixing of several different peoples over 500 years of history has produced a great mix of traditions, ingredients and dishes introduced by native and immigrant populations alike. Brazil’s northern region consists of the states of Amazonas, Roraima, Amapá, Pará, Tocantins, Rondônia and Acre. It is also influenced by Portuguese and African immigrants who arrived in the country since the beginning of colonisation. However, according to Joseny Juvito, a chef specialized in northern cuisine, the region is predominantly indigenous and, therefore, has specific peculiarities influenced by the fact.
