The show

In this process, a fundamental role is represented by the photographic image, which digital processing has made increasingly performing at an aesthetic level, and by visual perception, investigated through sophisticated neuromarketing techniques in order to guide consumers' behaviors and choices. .

We have even reached a level where the text has very often become an appendix, everything passes through them. "
