n[ever]land è l'occasione per indagare se, come e quanto le nuove tecnologie siano in grado di incontrare le moderne arti visive così come le più antiche arti di palcoscenico, l'editoria tradizionale o la mobilissima comunicazione on line, nella ricerca di un'armonia possibile tra necessità produttive e spinte creative: n[ever]land, quindi, come l'isola-che-non-c'è dove poter riscrivere le regole del gioco.

Darvaz: The Door to Hell
This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.
