Seminar 1 took a trip to Marghera; a municipalità of the comune of Venice. Channels were dredged in the early 20th century to form this industrial port where Bengali immigrants and many Italians who can't afford Venice proper live. The henna'd hand pictured belongs to a Bengali woman who tends a community garden in a Marghera neighborhood. "Mar gh' era" means "There was the sea." - dfrazier

Day 2 of Anthropocene Campus Venice began with a presentation on Virtual Reality and ended with a presentation on manufactured reality. The above image is from a presentation by Florinke Egmond. It illustrates an example water engineering in the Netherlands. Early 19th century narratives of water protective measures sought to control and dominate water in the form of levees, dykes, dams, and pumps. Similarly to New Orleans, these early attempts of resisting water have left our sinking cities to resemble empty bathtubs with water lapping at the edges. - dfrazier
