In the eternal battle between art and censorship, where golden shells cover the truths of nature, it seems that the sight of a nipple could corrupt minds more than virtual murder. I venture into this reflection, winking at you, dear reader, because we now find ourselves at a cultural crossroads where play and learning meet, with a touch of irony about censorship.
Let’s begin with the commendable initiative of “Artonauti,” a sticker album that, like an educational Trojan horse, brings art into the hands of children. Starting from the caves of Lascaux, it’s a journey through the centuries, touching Egypt, Greece, Rome, and diving into the artistic currents that have shaped our visual world. Each sticker is a portal to an era, where Giotto, Michelangelo, and Van Gogh become playmates.
Then there’s “Assassin’s Creed,” a masterpiece of storytelling and design, where historical detail reigns supreme—except when it comes to nipples and genitals. Oh, the censorship! Like a sword cutting the ribbon of reality, it leaves players in a limbo of incomplete realism. The golden shells become symbols of modern puritanism, an attempt to hide what is naturally human.
Here appears the paradox: digital assassins roam detailed historic cities, while the nipples and genitals of statues are censored, as if naked art is more dangerous than simulating a murder. Ironically, while the youngest are barred from viewing artistic nudity, they nonchalantly assume the roles of virtual assassins.
But art, like water, always finds its way. Just as in “The Sims,” where enthusiasts created patches to remove censorship, “Assassin’s Creed” fans seek solutions to restore artworks to their original state. The internet becomes a maze of clandestine solutions, a small act of rebellion against digital puritanism.
In this weave of art, gaming, and censorship, a question arises: what impact will these choices have on young people’s perception of art and history? We hope that “Artonauti” can offer a counterbalance, showing that art, in its purest form and without golden shells, is a tool for learning and enjoyment, not something to be shielded from.
And so, while Facebook flips through its regulations on nudity, hoping not to stumble upon a rebellious nipple, we continue to navigate between art, culture, and a touch of censorship, wondering if we are protecting or limiting the minds of the future.
Buongiorno, potrei inviarvi il comunicato stampa (e il nuovo album Artonauti Arte&Scienza se vi fa piacere)?
Samantha Mattiuzzi, web marketer Artonauti
Buongiorno e grazie per la proposta, che senz’altro viene accettata
Tra l’altro vedo che di cognome fa “Mattiuzzi” come me… che bella coincidenza!
