MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOCENE TECHNOLOGY

INTRO

The Museum of Anthropocene Technology is midway between an art gallery and a science laboratory; it collects objects from the Anthropocene - a time period around 2000 CE - and turns them into things that tell about a seemingly problematic relationship between humans and nature. The museum contributes to a growing understanding about how this relationship determined the lives of humans and non-humans during that period. It also tries to answer questions like: when exactly did the Anthropocene come to an end; what are the reasons - one or many - that it came to an end; how did the Earth, Life and Humanity eventually continue up till today?

"In questo museo, oggetti che tempo fa (50 mila anni fa …) erano puramente funzionali e utilitari, vengono trasformati in cose con valore estetico, che non hanno altro scopo se non quello di raccontare una storia" (Anna, 31/5/2025)
