If the stats are correct, 3,733 registered journalists attended the preopening of this year’s Venice Art Biennale, a group that is projected to produce some 2500 pieces of legacy media style coverage. It just so happens that we, too, were in Venice — there to install our work with Joshua Citarella, The Online Marketplace of Ideas, at the Palazzo Diedo for the “Strange Rules” exhibition curated by Holly Herndon, Mat Dryhurst, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Adriana Rispoli. (Stay tuned for an ep next week with Josh discussing the collab in detail). And so here we are with our unaccredited, unsolicited content about Venice, alongside a bonus travel special featuring a visit to the Lake Garda home of Italian decadent poet Gabriele D’Annunzio (1863-1938). | Channel subscribers, please DM for access to image content and we'll send U pdf.
