Exotopie in conflitto: trauma e memorie tra arte e rivoluzione digitale

This article investigates how digital technologies reshape contemporary forms of collective memory at the intersection of biopolitics, artistic practice, and the political narration of trauma. Drawing on Borys Groys and the Bakhtinian concept of exotopy, it argues that bioart and performative practices reconceive the artwork as an event, reconfiguring relations between identity and alterity within exclusionary political frameworks. Through Bourriaud’s theoretical lens, digital art emerges as a medium that transforms memory from a static archive into a performative and processual dynamic capable of generating temporary collective formations. Focusing on artistic practices that adopt digital dispersion as a methodological principle, the article examines emergent subjectivities shaped by trauma understood as a social phenomenon, following Bollas and Benasayag. Incorporating Ricœur’s hermeneutic perspective, it ultimately contends that narrative practices enable the construction of shared and democratic memories while revealing both the risks and the political potential embedded in contemporary digital mnemonic processes.
