Fabrica Research Centre brings to Venice an eco-critical research laboratory concerning the city and its complex ecosystem. The laboratory explores alternative futures already present in the lagoon and promotes reflection on local ecologies of co-existence in an era marked by global political, economic and environmental crises. A group of young international researchers in residence at Fabrica propose multimedia research projects, including interactive video games, bio-fabrications using mussels from the lagoon, experiential tastings, experimental herbariums dedicated to underwater flora and aural re-elaborations of wave motion and pollution data from Venetian canals.
