Chameleon – a project by Universal Everything for Fondazione Giorgio Cini

A site-specific project for the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore has been carried out by the famous international collective Universal Everything. The hallmark of their work is the ‘walking figure’: a digital creature that transforms itself by changing matter, colour and texture, and which for this occasion, crosses the spaces of the Island on a visionary walk in very high definition, showcasing the monumental architecture, the art collections – including the paintings, tapestries and the Wedding at Cana – the libraries the woods along with the Vatican Chapels. The digital work, visible online from 9 September, is presented in the ancient Longhena Library and at Deep Space in Linz (Austria) in collaboration with Ars Electronica and S+T+ARTS, a European Commission project.
