1) your project at Fondamenta 3.0: BATTLESHIP
2) brief description: It's a ludic installation that engage the public thanks to a battleship mechanism. With little clues randomly picked up, we have the progressive creation of a net made of little drawings and traces, in a sort of subtle graphic chain-reaction.
3) three key-works of your project : organization / chance / subjectivity
4) tell us something about your experience of Fondamenta 3.0: It's been beautiful to understand how kids - with a still pure and independent way to conceive an image - often create much more interesting, complex and amazing drawings and situations than professionals in this field.
5) possible evolutions of Fondamenta 3.0 for the next year: It'd be nice if events like Fondamenta would be organized during other less known holidays, also in different cities.
6) your favourite thing of Fondamenta 2014: When the event brings enthusiasm to very young children or very old elders - with even some interaction between the two.
