1. Cibernetica e Fantasmi – December 15 to 30.
December 15 to 30 Sineglossa presents in Recanati, at. Villa Colloredo Mels, the poetry and artificial intelligence exhibition CIBERNETICS AND FANTASMS, in collaboration with The Tip of the Tongue –Total Poetry Festival, with support from. Marche Region – Department of Culture and the sponsorship of the City of Recanati – Department of Culture.
An exhibition that chooses Giacomo Leopardi’s hometown and a title inspired by a lecture by Italo Calvino to illuminate new points of contact between the eternal human need for poetry and the linguistic and combinatorial capabilities of artificial intelligences. The idea that a machine can remove human beings from the “stores of life” and replace them in “material things” as much as and especially in “spiritual things” is anticipated by Leopardi in 1824, in one of the Moral Operettas less well known but more visionary and futuristic, in which the poet from Recanati imagines an Academy of Sillographers – sylographers were, in ancient Greece, poets of ironic and burlesque verse – establishing a call for competition to award prizes for the three best inventions capable of replacing human beings.
Exhibition opening: 16 – 30.12.2023 | h. 10-13, 15-18
Talk & Opening: 15.12.2023 | h 18.00, closing h.21

3. Mercato della Conoscenza e della Non Conscenza – December 17. H.16 – 20.30
85 EXPERT(S) FOR 85 DIALOGUES ON URBAN COMPLEXITY
Drinking city, moral capital, European city, metropolis of inequality. Labeled for all time, Milan escapes attempts to freeze it in a model and moves as a complex system that within itself simultaneously produces antagonism and complementarity.
85 experts – urban planners, artists, historians, architects, sociologists, citizens, activists, economists – present their experience of living, working and thinking in the metropolitan city. What does it mean to move within an urban complexity? What adaptation and innovation actions generate change? And if in all this the unpredictable happens-what urban tomorrows await us?
The Marketplace of Knowledge and Non-Knowledge is a project of Berlin-based artist, curator and playwright Hannah Hurtzig. First presented in 2004, it has been staged 34 times in 13 different countries. For each presenting city, the Market is created from scratch, with a different thematic focus related to the contemporary urban context.
It is an artistic event, a wide-ranging participatory performance, a place of exchange, observation and production of knowledge that combines the intimacy of tête-à-tête with the spectacularity of the theatrical installation, creating a multidisciplinary, multidimensional and hallucinatory space of knowledge, evoking what Milan is and could become.
