I am pleased to announce my upcoming project ‘Palermo in Venice’, for the Venice Biennale 2011, presented by EB&Flow Gallery of London and sponserded by BIOFOX Petroli.

The project consists of a sound landscape adorning the city of Venice as if it were a dress that the city wears. The installation will bring to the city the only element that is present in all of the cities of the world except for Venice: traffic.

The soundscape of Palermo, the city with most traffic and sound pollution in Italy will be streamed live onto the streets of Venice, played to the city through a series of speakers distributed over a 24 hour period.

The soundscape will then be mixed with the surrounding sounds of Venice and will be streamed back live to Palermo in the Albergo Delle Povere alongside a video stream of public reactions Venice.
The final outcome will also be simultaneously transmitted live to an exhibition at the EB&Flow gallery in London.

Exhibition dates and times: Saturday 4 June 2011 from 5am for 24 hours
