Lecture
This lecture discusses the Venice Time Machine project, part of the Time Machine Europe initiative, which aims to digitize and model the past, present, and future of Venice. The project, developed between 2012 and 2019, focuses on digitizing historical records and the city itself to create a digital twin. By combining vast digitization efforts with advanced technologies like AI and simulation engines, the project seeks to provide a comprehensive tool for monitoring Venice's evolution and connecting its rich history with its current state. The concept of Mirror Worlds, as a dense information skeleton organizing data in 4D, is explored as a potential game-changer in information structuring and accessibility.
