THE HUMAN FACE IS A WORLD HERITAGE
By proposing the element of the face as a heritage of humanity, Volto Manifesto aims to invite everyone to join a shared, collective dialogue on the themes of the uniqueness of the human face, of the digital and physical transformations that are taking place, of the unique role that the face holds for human relationships and the ethics of society.

FACE MANIFESTO
A research on artificial faces and the Uncanny Valley
The face is undergoing profound transformations. From the heavy use of photo-re- touching on social networks and in advertisement, to influencers whose digital appearance is almost indistinguishable from the real one and androids with increasingly anthropomorphic features, reinforced by an increasingly refined artificial intelligence: such phenomena have brought to everyone’s private and social life daily encounters with artificial faces. Faces that look very different from one another, but that share a common unattainable goal: stopping the passage of time.
