yourBiennale – A PDA application [in collaboration with Alessandra Florian e Valentina Cuccato]
yourBiennale involves the user in a virtual land in which everybody has a own island.
The island is just a metaphorical way to give to the user a private space in which is allowed to share multimedia stuff with other users online and where they can keep in contact or organize meeting with other people according to their common interests.
yourBiennale is a playful experience but primarily it is an useful instrument to explore the Biennale from people involved in Biennale too. [download pdf]

Secret Garden – Interactive prototype
Secret garden project raises questions about public versus private space in a urban context like Venice. The main project’s aim is to focus on the possibility to getting enough people to participate in the discovery of those kind “of missing links/hidden signs” here in Venice.
