Held for the NALATA Festival, this historic edition featured a partnership with the renowned STRAAT Urban Art Museum, located in Amsterdam, Holland. The event brought together more than 40 artists from different generations and styles in a wide-ranging celebration of urban art.

The book investigates the paradoxes of the Information Age in a cyberpunk dystopia. The Internet - idealized in the 1990s as a space for the free circulation of knowledge - ended up materializing another reality.

In the culture of retention, we often float aimlessly, hypnotized by the algorithm of doom scrolling, captured by a surveillance system that presents itself as digital freedom and autonomy.

Inspired by Byung-Chul Han's concept of Infocracy, the book explores how algorithms - driven by data collection, now an asset more valuable than gold - exert subtle and constant control over our behavior and opinions.
