Rhpositive.net is the personal blog of Roland Hochstrasser. The contents presented on these pages are the result of work carried out in various fields, with a particular interest in cultural policies, territory, tourism, and communication strategies. The purpose is certainly not to provide definitive answers, on the contrary: the texts propose reflections that aim to stimulate questions for further developments. Hence the name and slogan, which emphasize the importance of having constructive and positive perspectives.

Per iniziare la serie dedicata ai patrimoni culturali ticinesi disseminati nel cybermondo, una passeggiata nella Lugano d’inizio Novecento si presta bene. Il fotografo russo Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky ci offre alcuni panorami e scorci di una Città, ritratta a colori, molto diversa da come si presenta oggi. Ma dove sono archiviate queste immagini? A Bellinzona? O a San Pietroburgo?
The world changes; it always has, with or without human intervention. The novelty in recent years lies in the frequency, intensity, and those so-called leaps – or disruptive changes – that transform the socio-economic fabric at an ever-increasing pace. Sometimes these are caused by revolutionary technologies; at other times, they are the result of gradual maturation that does not attract public opinion's attention until they become too significant to go unnoticed. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is likely one of these latter cases. Ignored for several decades, it has now matured the necessary potential to manifest significant and growing impacts on human communities in the years to come.
Osare: il progresso si ottiene solo così.
Oser: le progrès est à ce prix.
To dare; that is the price of progress.
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
