Loquis, the atlas of world histories

He explains it like this: “We are the stories we tell and places are made of stories. Without stories, places would just be iron and bricks.” Because of this Bruno Pellegrinione of the protagonists of the world of innovation in Italy, founder, among many others, of TheBlogTvOf Nobody TV e di Userfarmcreated Lokia sound atlas whose mission is to collect anecdotes from places around the world.

A podcast platform open to anyone who wants to narrate emotions, traditions, oral tales, legends handed down from grandparents to grandchildren. A convention of digital storytellers that makes use of the much-discussed generative artificial intelligence capable of translating contributions into seven languages ​​in real time.

Pellegrini says Loquis imagined her during a highway trip. Digital offers the maps to get everywhere, but takes our gaze away from the horizon. We no longer know how to get lost in the streets of a city, look up at the facade of a church or see a tree as a centuries-old witness. We are immersed in reviews, we replicate trips through the social channels of our networks, but we no longer know how to lift our heads and look at the world with the gaze of discovery.

Loquis, explains its founder, exists to make us open our eyes, together with our ears. Technically it is a geolocalized podcast, it allows you to listen to the story of a place through the voice of those who care about that story and have decided to give it to the world. A great atlas of stories, like those of many years ago drawn through travel stories and which today finally return thanks to friendly technology and a network of people who share the desire to tell.

In a society that runs, gets distracted and forgets. Loquis invites each of us to stop, listen and rediscover the magic hidden in every alley, in every bend of the rivers, and the Loquis are nothing other than the voices of those who decide to narrate their piece of the world and share it on the platform. Anyone can log in and start talking about their place. This will be accompanied by the Loquis Factorya project that will see creators working to bring new audio to life in a more professional way, which will further enrich the user experience.

Today is World Voice Day, a special occasion to celebrate what is the fundamental communication tool in our lives. Every year on April 16, the world comes together to honor and recognize its central role in allowing us to connect with others and express ourselves.
