As we live in 2016 without the Internet? To find out, the street artist Biancoshock, from Milan, moved for a period in the Molise region (Italy), more precisely in Civitacampomarano, a village of 400 inhabitants in the province of Campobasso where poor network coverage makes it difficult to use the web and any electronic device. Thus it was born the "Web 0.0" project, realized during the CVTA Street Fest festival: Biancoshock applied the logos of some of the most famous sites and social networks to their offline equivalents, used daily by the people of Civitacampomarano. The mailbox is their Gmail, the oldest woman of the village is Wikipedia because people turns to her to get any information, instead of tweeting they have gossip on a bench and the Facebook wall come back to identifying with the origins space of municipal billboards. But there are also the WhatsApp phone booth, the van WeTransfer and so on. "It's a kind of Internet in the real life, which shows how the virtual dynamics that many of us believe are fundamental for the life of every day are actually always existed and can be replicated without computers and smartphones," explains the artist
