collateral event of the Venice Biennale, Marco Nereo Rotelli Curator. The
poets - by software Skype and web cam - will bring their poetic presence in
a great event of communication: the poetry word as individual instance, but
also identity of people and global breath, by new media and communication
technologies.
After the virtual installation "Poetry Shuttle Landing on SL", on the 40.
anniversary of the Lunar Landing, for celebrating the Centenary of Italian
Futurism, a new digital performance based on communication, as a virtual
place for interchange and aggregation, opportunity of dialogue and presence.

Mare Nostrum Foundation has developed other projects about the topic of
cultural identities in danger: Isola della Poesia (installation by Marco N.
Rotelli) collateral event of the Venice Biennale 2005, which included the
virtual event on line Isola Virtuale by Caterina Davinio (500 involved
poets). But the collaboration between Rotelli and Davinio started in 2001,
when Bunker Poetico - special project by Harald Szeemann - was realized in
the 49. Venice Biennale. More then 1000 poets participated In Bunker Poetico
from many countries.
