      txt: The Festival of the city-enterprise - www.festivaldellecittaimpresa.it A Festival that wants to tell the transformations of the North East and think about the future. The urban centres are the protagonists, the symbols of the industrial transformation that has taken place during the last decades. Today they are representative models of a constantly moving system, lived as an experimental place, together with the cities that are the symbols of the cultural life. A network event that takes place in some cities-enterprise which constitute the symbol of the transformation of the Venice area's economic and social fabric, and that will connect them to Verona, Venice and Trieste, symbols of the three region's cultural life in turn, where some key events will take place. Locations Rovereto (TN): The culture of sustainability - science and enterprise meet in Technopolis. Schio (VI): Reinvent the worlds: how art and culture can create new scenarios after the crisis. Union of the cities Camposampierese (PD): The networks of knowledge and communication. Montebelluna-Asolo (TV): Design as a competitive factor for the enterprise. Vittorio Veneto (TV): Spaces and landscape of a European capital: ideas for a new balance. Maniago (PN): The new cultural industries: the movie factor. Interland Udine (UD): The new "Marco Polo". Culture as a dialogue and exchange factor between the markets and peoples from East to West. link: The Festival of the city-enterprise program

      txt: PenguinGroup - The Future of Publishing on youtube.com
      This video was prepared by the UK branch of Dorling Kindersley Books and produced by Khaki Films. Originally meant solely for a DK sales conference, the video was such a hit internally that it is now being shared externally. We hope you enjoy it (and make sure you watch it up to at least the halfway point, there's a surprise!). Read an interview with the creator of the video on the Penguin Blog: The clip was inspired by a video created by an Argentinian agency, Savaglio/TBWA entitled Truth

      txt: United Nations declared 2010 International Year of Biodiversity
      You are an integral part of nature; your fate is tightly linked with biodiversity, the huge variety of other animals and plants, the places they live and their surrounding environments, all over the world. You rely on this diversity of life to provide you with the food, fuel, medicine and other essentials you simply cannot live without. Yet this rich diversity is being lost at a greatly accelerated rate because of human activities. This impoverishes us all and weakens the ability of the living systems, on which we depend, to resist growing threats such as climate change.

      txt: (pdf file) 2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures launched at UNESCO
      The main goal of the Year will be to demonstrate the benefits of cultural diversity by acknowledging the importance of the constant transfers and exchanges between cultures and the ties forged between them since the dawn of humanity. As cultures encompass not only the arts and humanities, but also lifestyles, different ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs, the protection and promotion of their rich diversity invites us to rise to new challenges at the local, national, regional and international levels. This will involve integrating the principles of dialogue and mutual knowledge in all policies, particularly education, science, culture and communication policies, in the hope of correcting flawed cultural representations, values and stereotypes.

      txt: 2010 World Poetry Day "The Words of Nature, the Nature of Words" - UNESCO
      Doubling as International Year of Biodiversity and of the Rapprochement of Cultures, 2010 celebrates two essential facets of diversity: the heritage which is key to human life on Earth. Through poetry and science, humanity has been able to capture a full range of the world’s diversity. From their distinctive perspectives, poetry and science embody humanity’s noblest quest: that which UNESCO’s Constitution identifies as “the unrestricted pursuit of truth”.

      A key aspect of the success of the style of Palladio was due to his direct knowledge of materials and construction techniques. From this base Palladio built his theoretical knowledge, his travels, his culture construction. He draws its villas and entrusts the construction to trusted foremen familiar with the rules of art. Design and craftsmanship. A theory that starts from practice, a practice that needs theory. [it] Una degli aspetti essenziali del successo dello stile di Palladio era dovuto alla conoscenza diretta dei materiali e delle tecniche costruttive. Da questa base Palladio costruisce le sue conoscenze teoriche, i suoi viaggi, la sua cultura della costruzione. Disegna le sue ville e affida la costruzione a capomastri fidati che conoscono a fondo le regole dell'arte. Design e artigianato. Una teoria che parte dalla pratica, una pratica che ha bisogno della teoria. link: Venice 2132 - Open Studio - www.fondazioneclaudiobuziol.org

      ok. From a Venetian point of view this kind of ideas inspire a sarcastic smile. But: what we need now is this: different perspectives on reality / [it] ok. Da un punto di vista veneto queste idee ispirano un certo sorriso sarcastico. Però. Quello che serve ora è questo: sguardi diversi della realtà. txt: Jane McGonigal at TED: Gaming can make a better world
      "Reality is broken," says IFTF's Jane McGonigal. "And we all need to tap into a collective sense of urgent optimism—as well as the ability and capacity to act now—to make the future."

      video+txt: IBMSocialMedia on youtube.com
      When we talk about a smarter planet, you can say that it has two dimensions. One is to be more efficient, be less destructive, to connect different aspects of life which do affect each other in more conscience and deliberate and intelligent ways. But the other is also to generate fundamentally new insights, new activity, new forms of social relations. So you could look at the planet as an information, creation and transmission system, and the universe was hearing its information but we werent. But increasingly now we can, early days, baby steps days, but we can actually begin to hear the planet talking to us.
