Medioera 2020: Viterbo's Digital Culture Festival Goes Hybrid
The 11th edition of Medioera, a digital culture festival established in 2009 in Viterbo, Italy, is set to take place from October 1 to 4, 2020, in a hybrid format. Founded by Massimiliano Capo, Mauro Rotelli, Marco De Carolis, and Claudio D'Angeli, the festival examines technology's influence on education, art, politics, TV, and creativity. In response to COVID-19, it initiated a daily online forum, leading to over 70 interviews focused on digital culture. The 2020 theme, "social innovation," includes discussions on health, territory, and body; a book presentation by Valentina Tanni; conversations on inclusive language; and various speakers. Additionally, the new initiative "10000 passi" encourages sustainable community pathways. The Municipality of Viterbo and Lazio Innova support the festival.
