Time is the first endowment
Liberating time to return to thinking
Time and relation
Time has no measure.
Its measure is an arbitrariness of man.
Time exists in relation.
Between events, individuals, elementary particles.
And yet today it appears as the true substance of contemporaneity: its absence, its acceleration, its continuous dispersion.
The digital present
In the digital present, the world seems to have accelerated its own time.
Human, time, digital.
It is still a question of relations.
The digital multiplies the possibilities of action.
And so contemporary man ends up filling all time with things: work, obligations, constraints.
Liberating time
Our idea is different.
That the digital should not fill space, but open it.
That it should liberate time.
At Palazzo Santangelo, we want to liberate time.
Liberated time becomes time to return to thinking.
To nourish oneself with another possibility: the present moment.
The present moment
Time of travel, which is the time of man.
A time that does not simply slow down, but stops rushing toward an indistinct future.
A time that becomes present again.
The present of the mind.
Time of travel
So, this is our first endowment for travelers:
liberated time.
For Centro Paolo VI, time is not something to be filled, but liberated.
In the digital present, constant acceleration risks transforming time into a sequence of obligations, constraints and dispersion.
At Palazzo Santangelo, cognitive hospitality seeks instead to restore time for thinking, inhabiting the present and recovering attention.
