Death in Venice

For Gustav Aschenbach, the character in Thomas Mann's masterpiece, Venice is the end. Our Venice is a different kind of story. A beginning made of installations, flooded streets, children's workshops, fiction that turns into play. I play therefore I am. Against the stunning backdrop of the Monastery of San Salvador, seat of Telecom's Future Centre, Interaction Design Institute Ivrea presents installations, workshops and narratives for children ranging from 11 to 14 years old. The workshops deliberately employ a mix of low and high tech approaches, working on the learning, playing and storytelling experiences. In addition, Interaction-Ivrea brings to Venice La Mia 500, a vintage Fiat 500 with a digital soul, that, after floating on the canals like a gondola, has finally moored at the monastery.
