Social platforms and digital communication tools are so ubiquitous we take for granted that not everyone in the world, well, cares!<\/p>\n<p>Such is the case in the small Italian village of Civitacampomarano, located in the Campbasso province toward the country\u2019s southern region. Compared to the industrial north and cities like Milan and Turin, the south is Italy\u2019s more provincial half, and Civitacampomarano is one of those bucolic villages that seems to have been forgotten by time. So it stands to reason that the village residents, the largest percentage of which are over the age of 75, aren\u2019t a super connected set.<\/p>\n<p>All makes Civitacampomarano a counter-intuitively ideal backdrop for a street art installation about a living internet. Italian artist Biancoshock turned the streets of the village into an a sort of analog facsimile for the digital world with his \u201cWeb 0.0\u201d exhibition. That doesn\u2019t mean he hard wired the whole town. It\u2019s still a town basically carved from stone and perched on a hill. But he converted IRL spaces into stand-ins for tech that the townspeople don\u2019t pay much mind to, like a WhatsApp phone booth and a gmail post box.<\/p>\n<p>Biancoshock\u2019s installation is just the first of a six-part street art event in the city called \u201cCVT\u00e1 Street Fest\u201d meant to revitalize the abandoned historical town center, and here is a look at how he subverted ultimate connectivity in the most disconnected of places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you live in an urban center of the United States, meeting someone who isn\u2019t on services like Facebook or Instagram is a whole lot weirder than meeting someone who is.
