Digital Venice

54th Venise Biennale opening took place in the beginning of June and was entitled Illuminazioni (Illuminations).

And the Venise Biennale used to be indeed a national pavillion thing. It's understandable as the first Biennale started in an historic period when the concept of nation was not questionned the way it is toda...

For more than 30 years, the Ars...

Too bad because it was a fantastic place to showcase major digital artworks. But fortunately, there ar...
