Sineglossa is taking part in the fifth edition of <\/span>Biennale Tecnologia<\/b>, the project of <\/span>Politecnico di Torino<\/b> dedicated to the relationship between technology and society. Sineglossa supports <\/span>Federico Bomba<\/a>\u00a0(President of Sineglossa) in the curation of the exhibitions Framing Problems<\/i><\/b> and\u00a0Dati Sensibili <\/i><\/strong>(Sensitive Data<\/em>), while also contributing to the characterization and user experience of one of the installations on display: a conversational agent trained on materials from the Associazione Archivio Storico Olivetti and the magazine Mangrovia<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Co-curated by Federico Bomba<\/strong> (Sineglossa<\/strong>) with Bernardo Follini<\/strong> (Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo<\/strong>),<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Framing Problems<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0moves from an observation: contemporary crises cannot be isolated, they are interconnected. Environmental, social, geopolitical, and technological issues are intertwined, rendering linear interpretations and purely technical solutions ineffective. In this context, the exhibition shifts the focus from <\/span>problem-solving<\/b> to <\/span>problem-framing<\/b>: before seeking solutions, it is necessary to examine how problems are constructed, made visible, thus addressable.<\/span><\/p>

The artworks, exhibited across six Turin-based cultural institutions<\/strong>, function as “attention devices”: they invite viewers to slow down, suspend the daily flow, and critically observe the contradictions of our digital present. International artists such as Forensic Architecture, Hito Steyerl, Ian Cheng, Xin Liu, Katja Novitskova, Martyna Marciniak, Diego Marcon, <\/strong>and Roberto Fassone<\/strong> challenge established narratives, opening new ways to interpret themes such as public truth, the circulation of images, the instability of technological systems, and the construction of consensus.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dati Sensibili<\/strong> (Sensitive Data)<\/span><\/i>, curated by Federico Bomba<\/strong> and hosted at the Museo Nazionale del Risorgimento<\/strong> (National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento), stems from a collaboration with the Associazione Archivio Storico Olivetti<\/strong> to question the present through three founding themes: city, technology, and labor. The exhibition starts from a clear premise: before becoming datasets, data <\/strong>were experience, human labor, and decisions<\/strong>. The exhibition path alternates between archival materials and Olivetti machines, making the materiality of knowledge and its stratification over time tangible. The analog experience concludes in the <\/span>Sala Plebisciti<\/span><\/i> with a highly experimental encounter. Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with <\/span>OLO<\/b><\/em>, a chatbot developed by TIM Enterprise<\/strong> with an interface created by the Possible Entanglements Lab<\/strong> of the Politecnico di Torino and trained on materials from the Olivetti Archive<\/strong> and the contents of <\/span>Mangrovia<\/strong> – a digital magazine exploring stories of technology, culture, and society.<\/span><\/p>

Sineglossa has curated the characterization and user experience of OLO<\/strong> to ensure it is neither a traditional assistant providing definitive answers nor an avatar simulating historical thought. Instead, it is a non-human interlocutor<\/strong> which uses data to stimulate questions, connections, and reflections on the present. Sineglossa\u2019s work focused on defining its tone, conversational behavior, and interaction modes to avoid both the “oracle” effect and a purely functional one. Around OLO, a program of public dialogues dedicated to labor, the city, and design will take place, where the agent interacts with researchers and scholars.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
