The “floating city” will be, in this perspective, the ideal theater to face a wide debate on urgent issues such as overtourism, the climate crisis and cultural identity. How can cities and cultural sites preserve their heritage in the face of pressure from mass tourism? What measures can museums take to stem the effects of the climate crisis? How can the arts help bridge cultural and political gaps? These are just some of the reflections that will be addressed during the three days of the meeting.
Art for Tomorrow 2024 presents a program articulated with plenary sessions, moderated by authoritative journalists of the New York Times, while offering cultural visits to iconic or precious and hidden places in Venice.
The main topics covered are:
- Sustainability and beauty pitfalls. Deepening the challenges that Venice must face to preserve its cultural heritage: overtourism and rising sea levels, also caused by climate change.
- Architecture for the good. Explore the transformative potential of architecture in addressing social issues such as inequality, accessibility, and sustainability.
- Identity crisis: museums in their context. Examine the role museums play in identifying and communicating the specific concerns of individual target communities, overcoming mainstream storytelling.
- Cultivating creativity: deepening the challenges faced by emerging artists and designers to transform their creations into real entrepreneurial initiatives.
Luca De Michelis, CEO Marsilio publishers and Marsilio Arte, participated in the talk “AI and Creativity: Revolution or Disruption?”.

AI and Creativity: Revolution or Disruption?
Friday, 7th of June 2024, from 10:10 to 10:50
Art for Tomorrow Talk
In recent months, artificial intelligence has been advancing at an exponential rate. Some creative minds are celebrating how generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney and Synthesia can help power their work. At the same time, the tools make it easy for anyone to become a content creator, potentially saturating an already crowded field and raising questions about where technology ends and art begins. We bring together a group of experts to explore how AI is reshaping the creative landscape, and the threats and opportunities it poses to creators.
