was created in the UK during the Lockdown, and It reflects Today's world-accessible technology, evoking a global outburst and a fast-paced life, adding a new flux to reality, and speeding up human relationships with nature and the global planet.

For millions of years, all humans, from the early age and modern alike, had to find their means of subsistence. It was just in the past 12,000 years that our species, Homo sapiens, found they could control the growth and breeding of certain plants and animals. This discovery led to farming and herding animals, transforming Earth's natural landscapes—first locally, then globally.

These changes are attributable to Human Behaviour and Human Lifestyle. Humans created an anthropocentric worldview - the view that human beings are at the centre of the universe. I Wish! I Want! I Can! I have the Power! NOW!

The Impact of COVID-19 in our daily life has isolated us as individuals, as families, or in our Spiritual Life, transforming us into Spiritual Nomads browsing in a sea of new sensations looking at a new lighthouse.

The rising of a new wave of DigitalSuch a moment enabled this new Artificial Intelligence to analyse and interpret humanity in its own way, while creating the illusion that a technologically driven and dependent human life is the right path, as Humanity’s Evolution. Artificial Intelligence peering into its surroundings, interpreting human life!

Homo Sapiens is addicted to Extinctions! Homo Sapiens is addicted to Machines and Technology! Homo Sapiens is addicted to Power! Homo Sapiens live in Spiritual Poverty!

We are beyond what we can sensorially reach, levered by artificial intelligence. And in that propelling motion, we extend our human existence, augmenting our Aurea to universes never visited.
