An invasion consisting of paintbrushes, spray cans, pictures, collages, stencils, sculptures and installations.

      Venice is sinking: pump it up

      txt: Can Venice be raised by pumping water underground? A pilot project to help decide- AGU Journals, WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH

      new modeling studies using a lot of realistic hydrogeological and geomechanical information from the northern Adriatic basin indicate that pumping seawater into a 600–800 m deep brackish aquifer below the Venice Lagoon might help raise the city uniformly by 25–30 cm over 10 years (a). This could provide Venice with an important innovative defence from and a substantial mitigation to the so-called “acqua alta,” i.e., the increasingly frequent floods that plague the city.

      txt: Salvare Venezia con acqua di mare Università di Padova - Uniscienze

      L’idea di sollevare Venezia si collocherebbe in termini sinergici nei confronti del “sistema MOSE”. Innanzi tutto l’impianto di sollevamento ed il sollevamento stesso avrebbero impatto pressoché nullo sull’eco-sistema lagunare. Ciò premesso, un progetto di sollevamento della città avrebbe un costo enormemente inferiore a quello del MOSE (dell’ordine di pochi %) mentre consentirebbe di mantenere inalterata la funzionalità del MOSE all’interno e finanche oltre i 50 anni di vita previsti, anche in presenza di un innalzamento del mare (dovuto al global warming) che alcuni studiosi prevedono possa essere simile a quello considerato nel progetto.

      txt: FESTA DEL REDENTORE 2010 - A traditional festival that lights up St. Mark's bay

      The Festa del Redentore is a festival that is particularly popular with Venetians as it combines a religious theme with a spectacular celebration that attracts thousands of visitors. On Saturday night, the inimitable setting of St. Mark's Basin hosts a phantasmagorical firework display that lights up the spires, domes and bell towers of the city with a kaleidoscope of colours and reflections. At dusk, just as they have done for centuries, numerous small boats decked out with balloons, decorations and brightly coloured lanterns, begin to flock into St. Mark's Bay and the Giudecca Canal. The boats then moor alongside each other and all the participants enjoy a sumptuous dinner of traditional Venetian specialities while they wait for the firework display that begins at 11.30pm and lasts until well past midnight.

      SPECIAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

      On Saturday July 17th, in the night, Trenitalia will arrange the following special trains from Venice to the main towns in the Veneto: - From Venezia Santa Lucia to Mestre: departures at 01:01 - 01:10 - 01:20 - 01:50 - 02:05; - From Venezia Santa Lucia to Padova: departure at 02:10, stops in alla stations except Porto Marghera; - From Venezia Santa Lucia to Treviso: departure at 02:42, stops in Mestre, Mogliano Veneto, Preganziol; - From Venezia Santa Lucia to Vicenza: departure at 02:50, stops in alla stations except Porto Marghera. ACTV will adjust local means of transportation, both on water and in the mainland.

      Take a walk into the industrial area of Marghera. Walk alone, at 2 pm, under a summer sun. Exit the station of Mestre, get into the chaos of cars, buses, trains (planes and ships farther). Then you arrive. Silence. Long and deserted streets. Sun, lot of sun. Ok, the Vegapark of course, but then you walk, you walk a lot. Behind. Around. Around the petrochemicals, the shipyards, the docks (the dock of the Nitrogen!), the the big ships, the skeletons of the sheds, the dead rails, the futuristic overpasses. If there is a place where the collision between past present and future is so harsh, that place is still Marghera. You get there to see signs of innovation, of future: Vegapark, technology, creativity (the coworking, for example). But when you're there you cannot escape the present, even less the past. Most of the bills with it are still open. Heavy. We need a sustainable future, for all.  

       

      [it]

       Fatti un giro per la zona industriale di Marghera. A piedi, da solo, alle due del pomeriggio, sotto il sole d'estate. Esci dalla stazione di Mestre, t'infili nel caos di macchine, autobus, treni (più in là, aerei e navi). E poi arrivi. Silenzio. Strade lunghe e deserte. Tanto sole. Sì, il Vegapark, ovvio, ma poi cammini, cammini ancora. Cammini tanto. Dietro. Intorno. Al petrolchimico, ai cantieri navali, alle banchine (la banchina dell'Azoto!), alle grandi navi ormeggiate, agli scheletri dei capannoni, ai binari morti, ai cavalcavia futuristici. Se c'è un posto dove la collisione tra passato presente e futuro è così dura, quel posto è ancora Marghera. E ci vieni per vedere segni di innovazione, di futuro: il Vegapark, la tecnologia, la creatività (il coworking, per esempio). Ma quando sei lì davvero non puoi fuggire al presente, meno che meno al passato. E molti conti sono ancora lì: Aperti. Pesanti. Serve un futuro sostenibile, per tutti.
