We are living through difficult times, a kind of “stasis in darkness” to say it in the words of one of my favorite poets, Sylvia Plath. All over the world we are hit very hard by covid 19, and especially hard here in northern Italy. It really seems that the coronavirus is unescapable. Many people are suffering deeply because of this terrible pandemic and our hearts go out to all of them. As we try to adjust to our new reality of social distancing and distance learning and working from home, we are relying heavily on digital communication, and we are undoubtedly being transformed by our daily use of technology. But we should remember all those for which neither distancing nor technology are available. We hope to be able to address some of these questions this coming October during VIEW Conference 2020. We are hopeful that by the end of this summer this will all be behind us and that we will be able to get together and celebrate creativity and life in general during VIEW Conference. Stay safe and hope to embrace you this coming October in beautiful Turin, Italy.
