A project by Biennale College Architettura, La Biennale di Venezia.

0.5 is an audiovisual installation that presents the contrasting roles of technological and collective intelligence in preserving La Laguna di Venezia. The project brings together the analytical world of the Centers of Climatological Research and the intergenerational knowledge of the fishing community in the north of the territory; citizen scientists fighting to preserve their traditional fishing methods amidst the changing landscapes of La Laguna.

0.5 refers to the annual rise in the Lagoon's water levels, approximately 0.5 centimeters per year, a marker of the Anthropocene’s looming shadow over the lagoon’s inherently fragile ecosystem; a liminal space continuously modified by the ‘artificial’ and by the efforts to monitor and interfere with its hydrological oscillations, swaying between land and sea, industrialization and resistance. Situated between these flows, the installation begins at the intersection of environmental science, human intervention, and cultural resilience, critically examining the lagoon’s human occupation whilst showcasing the delicate balance between human and more than human perspectives in its territorial design.

Observing habits of symbiosis and parasitism that coexist in the lagoon, 0.5 is thus conceived as a dialogue between the seemingly oppositional practices of Venezia’s Centers of Climatological Research and grassroots knowledge-transmission practices. The piece is structured around four key themes, each weaving together data visualization and narrative storytelling to underscore the critical relationship between the natural and artificial forms of intelligence unfolding across La Laguna di Venezia.
