The Festival, organised by Fondazione Sistema Toscana in collaboration with AEDEKA, is promoted by various institutional partners – such as the Municipality of Pisa and the Tuscany Region – and important research centers – such as University of Pisa, Scuola Sant’Anna, Scuola Normale Superiore, and CNR, the Italian Research Agency.

The 2017 edition keyword is #sentiment. The Network community is a microcosm rich in #opinions, #emotions and #thoughts. Nowadays, and thanks to the technological tools, they’re object of a socio-anthropological exploration able to grasp orientations, directions and trends. Reading the digital revolution through #sentiment analysis unveils political moods, cultural movements, and economic trends that are leading our times. Algorithms turn into #sentiments, understood as ways of thinking and perceive the surrounding reality.
