LOST & FOUND ⁄ ARCADE ⁄ WATER MAZE

The Select Venice adventure is initiated by a wheel that randomly selects a symbol of Venice, connected to a lesser-known place in the city.
By discovering three stops among the fourteen emblematic spots, you gather the essential elements to compose the spritz drink.

It's Venice itself that decides where the visitor should go, encouraging them to explore less touristy paths, getting lost and finding themselves anew.

Once the adventure is completed, a thermal printer provides the personal list of places and a QR code leading to a secret audio map, curated by Jonathan Zenti and featuring Yoko Yamada.

The animations were created using the cut-out technique and animated by Studio Ibrido.

The visual style combines the aesthetics of 8-bit arcade video games with the ‘pixel’ patterns of Venetian mosaics — a whirlwind of references and iconographies.
