An exhibition at the Museo Nazionale del Risorgimento Italiano that explores cities, technology and work through the documents of the Associazione Archivio Storico Olivetti, understood as living material to engage with. Through posters, maps, photographs and historic computing machines, the exhibition restores the material and temporal dimension of data, before it became datasets for artificial intelligence.<\/p>

The installation, built through the reuse and reconfiguration of objects and materials, brings archive and technological devices into dialogue, revealing their internal mechanisms and their role in redefining the relationship between work, knowledge and urban space. At the heart of the exhibition, OLO, a conversational agent trained on the Archivio’s knowledge base and the contents of the Mangrovia digital magazine, invites the public to pause and engage in a critical conversation about the present.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The selection of materials from the Archivio Storico Olivetti on display spans a time frame from the 1930s to the 1970s. In the area dedicated to the city<\/strong>, the materials tell the story of Ivrea and the Canavese as a laboratory of integrated planning. Photographs of industrial and residential architecture, maps and urban plans – such as the studies for the Valle d’Aosta from 1943 or the Ivrea urban plan from 1955 – show how productive development, the organisation of urban space and quality of life were conceived as a unified whole. Images of factories and residential quarters for employees convey a vision of the factory and the city designed on a human scale. The work<\/strong> section highlights the social dimension of the enterprise. Welfare record cards from the Fondo Burzio (1930s), trade union materials such as the 1956 communication on the reduction of working hours, posters for cultural initiatives and editorial letters bear witness to a model built on welfare, participation and cultural growth. Alongside these, tools and objects related to production – such as maintenance kits and everyday materials – restore the tangible reality of the working experience. In the technology<\/strong> area, objects and devices are presented that marked key milestones in the history of computing and industrial design. From calculating machines such as the Divisumma 24 (1956) to early electronic computers such as the Elea 9003 (1959), through to the Programma 101 (1965) and the electronic typewriter ET 221 (1979), the pioneering role of Olivetti in developing advanced, reliable and human-centred technology comes clearly into view.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

OLO<\/strong> is a conversational agent<\/strong> developed from the knowledge base of the Associazione Archivio Storico Olivetti<\/strong> and the contents of the Mangrovia<\/strong> digital magazine. It is designed to interrogate the present around the themes of the city, technology and labour.
Developed by TIM Enterprise<\/strong>, with an interface designed by the Possible Entanglements Lab of the Politecnico di Torino<\/strong> and characterisation by Sineglossa<\/strong>, OLO is an experiment in the role that artificial intelligences can play in the co-production of knowledge within a human-led ecosystem.
OLO is hosted in the Sala Plebisciti<\/strong>, dedicated to the celebration of public deliberation, where positions are transformed through dialogue. It is an “alien” entity – an other than us – that does not seek consensus, but confrontation. It does not simulate the human nor does it provide definitive answers. When activated, it listens to the conversations taking place around it and uses them as a trigger to stimulate further reactions in those it engages with. OLO acts as a maieutic device that encourages the dimension of dialogue, amplifying the role of the Museo del Risorgimento<\/strong> as a space for exchange between cultural institutions and digital experimentation.<\/p>
