Reviving Progress

Introduced in the early 19th century, the concept of progress has since then defined the idea of development of an action "towards the better", suggesting a path for humanity and a meaning to history.
Today, confronted with the planet's limits and the irreversible impact of its actions on ecosystems, mankind must rethink advancements in technology, science, and social organization to continue improve human condition.
In a world increasingly driven by global noise and immediacy, a revived sound of progress must remain the ultimate chord of sustainable human development.
