Hybrid Venice - Designing a Self-Portrait

The catalogue for the third edition of the Venice Design Biennial covers design, exhibition practices, self-representation, and the city of Venice itself in an age when the physical and digital are experiencing new fusions imbued with disorientation and the perception of nascent conditions. The curatorial theme explores what design represents for individuals and, at the same time, how we represent ourselves through it. Another focus is the impact of the global health crisis, in which technology has tried to overcome the prolonged closure of exhibitions and museums through the emergence of online solutions that aim to replace the direct experience of cultural projects.
