about

With the advent of the internet, we thought (we were deluded into thinking) that there would be a plurality of information that would lead to greater awareness on the part of everyone. With the advent of social media, all types of voices against the system have been silenced, suffocated by the jumble of messages that are daily thrown at us, and which it seems that we need to be actively involved in, otherwise we feel cut off from the debate. And so daily topics are born, disposable like all the products of consumer society, so that we talk about everything and nothing, without ever going to the bottom of the issues but immediately moving on to the next topic of debate, forgetting the previous one without having resolved it or at least addressed it, in a continuous present. “What's the topic of the day? (forget the rest)” is conceived as a fake advertisement, where a product called Topic Of The Day is sold (back to the consumer society). The tone is that of 40’s propaganda, a spoken word (masterfully interpreted by Alidavid) with a band accompaniment, a welcoming and reassuring but also uplifting melody, to encourage the purchase of the product.

ADVERTISING

Hey! YOU!
Yeah! YOU!

Are you being suffering from hyperthymesia, remembering on everything just right to perfection?

You're used to go complex reasoning which won't run out into the same old platitudes but get to the bottom of it, instead?

Can you afford tackling multiple issues at the same time for you trust that every point in life is somehow interconnected?

D’you go on keeping a close eye, day in day out, on debates touching certain matters, since you trust those demand being dissected to fully make head nor tail of them?

FROM TODAY YOU CAN PUT IT ALL BEHIND THANKS TO “TOPIC OF THE DAY”!
