for those interested in exploring the present
A conversation that intertwines history, philosophy and innovation, dedicated to exploring the meaning and value of money.
What lies behind the forms it has taken throughout history? How does the game of signs embodied by money work? What makes a piece of paper, metal or digital information money?
Records, institutions, rituals and documents accumulate and are capitalised, forming the daily and incessant relationship we have with it. Philosophy and economics come together to decipher the traces that have overlapped over time to the present day, allowing us to use digital currency with the same ease with which our ancestors used silver coins.

Lo scambio infinito is a series of three meetings to discuss how currency is in constant and inseparable relation with the main dimensions of human beings: thought and philosophy; beauty, art and its value; innovation, technology and finance.
