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, creating a true celebration of urban art in all its forms.

The book investigates the paradox of the Information Age, in a context reminiscent of cyberpunk dystopia. The Internet, idealized in the 1990s as a space for the free circulation of knowledge and information, ended up materializing a different reality.

In a culture based on retention, where we often find ourselves floating aimlessly without getting anywhere, we are often captured by a surveillance system disguised as digital freedom or autonomy.

Based on Byung-Chul Han's concept of Infocracy, the book explores how algorithms, now responsible for collecting data - and today more valuable than gold itself - exert a subtle and constant control over our behavior and social opinions.
