A seminar and a workshop will be at the heart of the “Closing event” dedicated to the conclusion of the exhibition “Waterproof Venice. A tale in images,” which was held at Tesa 66 in the North Arsenal of Venice.
The exhibition, which saw its opening on May 30, will close on October six. It was a conceptual installation that explored, interpreted and represented, thanks to Artificial Intelligence, a set of initiatives, aspirations, knowledge and skills that the Members of the Venice Sustainability Foundation (VSF) intend to pursue for the city and by the city.
At 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4, at the Torre di Porta Nuova, VSF Director General Alessandro Costa and the exhibition’s two curators, architects Jacopo Galli and Marco Marino (Iuav University of Venice), will hold a seminar explaining the members’ projects to the public. The event will then be followed by a convivial moment with a “cheers” in Tesa 66.
Following this, from 3 to 6 p.m., architect Marino will initiate a workshop in which, with the help of Artificial Intelligence algorithms, a graphic representation of the visions that each workshop participant would like to present for the city will be proposed. Attendees will write a prompt (the description to be entered into the Artificial Intelligence software) on an paperboard, discuss it with the curator, and see real-time image processing on a video.
To take part in the two initiatives, registration is required here, subject to availability.
