PROJECTS
A mobile application for a hypothetical Venice in which almost all the city has been converted into a multidisciplinary campus with highly advanced laboratories financed by the State, the faculties, local and international industries: the Marco Polo Multiversity.
Coro Pisani is an interactive installation that involves people in a music game. The installation has been designed to be placed in Campiello Pisani, in front of the facade of the present Venice academy of music. Our goal is to renew interest in the Venitian baroque tradition of “cori spezzati” (separated choirs) and at the same time create a pedagogical installation for music learning.
