The last twenty or so years have seen a phenomenal expansion in the variety of forms of creative and narrative audiovisual expression. The increasing role of relatively recent developments such as the internet, mobile telephony and computer gaming, which complement the narrative representation of more traditional media, seems to have acted as a catalyst to unfreeze the standard types of story form that had been appearing on screens for over a hundred years. Storytelling has taken on new forms, in the physical format(s) of the narrative material, the place or device where it is experienced, and the way it is accessed by the viewer – in particular, a viewer who might now also be a creator, m...
Increasingly, the virtual became reality by a hybridization of the world as we knew it: the process that went on in recent years is one of a technically assisted hybridization of both space and self, the »old« world is becoming virtualized and functionalized to a degree never experienced before. For the first time in human history, we have reached a threshold where we have not only to re-assert but to redefine ourselves, as regards our fundamental terms of understanding what world means for us, our base of existence and now an assemblage of mixed realities; and connected, what being human means. With a Preface by Gerd Stern.

M’illumini D’immenso è un viaggio poetico che racconta i vari volti delle emozioni, soffermandosi maggiormente sul sentimento dell'amore, che è descritto nei tanti aspetti che lo rendono un sentimento unico. Un amore capace di donare gioia e sorrisi con la stessa semplicità con cui è in grado di rivelarsi attraverso lacrime e rimpianti. Questo libro racchiude un lavoro introspettivo volto a cercare di catturare il vero significato dell’«emozionarsi». Molte delle liriche qui proposte si adagiano su uno sfondo caratterizzato da una massiccia presenza della natura, facendo sì che il lettore possa giovarsi di immagini e atmosfere capaci di cogliere l’essenza della parola «Emozione». Il titolo risalta pienamente il nodo centrale dell’opera, cioè quello di riuscire a cogliere la «luce» di tutte le esperienze e le emozioni provate nel corso della vita.
