mission
News moves fast: it gets denied, corrected, rewritten or simply forgotten.
We collect it and keep it exactly as it was reported, because what is forgotten tends to repeat itself.
IO NON DIMENTICO (“I do not forget”) is a digital, distributed historical archive built for the future: a tool to read the present critically and to leave a transparent record of the relationship between information, public perception and collective memory.
INFO
Glasspiel is a collective of artists that brings together information, critique and art to stimulate reflection on the present, through innovative artistic solutions and alternative communication channels.
IO NON DIMENTICO is its memory project: an archive that turns the news into digital works of art.
WHY NFT?
Information flows fast and is often reinterpreted or forgotten. Blockchain, instead, makes it possible to preserve immutable traces, accessible over time.
Registering each work as an NFT means fixing a moment and the way it was told, so that those who come after us can understand how information shaped the reality of our time.
Like it or not, the digital world, and in particular cryptocurrencies and blockchain, will be the ground on which humanity meets; it is therefore necessary to leave an indelible trace here too, however virtual it may be.
Truth transcends every medium through which it is spread.
