The MIT Senseable City project had a big room inside the Italian Pavilion of the Biennale this year. So i’ll just focus on that room for the moment, ‘kay? The Italian pavilion is always a glorious mess. Loads of nice surprises in there but i never know how to make sense of it.
All the projects selected deal with specific aspects of the urban environment and digital technology. The star of the show was Real Time Rome, an information visualization system that combines different datasets in a single interface to reveal the rhythm of the Italian capital in real time.
