Oltre il Giardino

Once the residence of Alma Mahler, this secluded country house near the Frari (church) in Venice now houses a gracious 6-room hotel with its own private garden.

Utterly exclusive, yet delightfully inviting, Oltre il Giardino combines understated elegance and period charm with modern comfort. Its bright, tasteful rooms are individually designed and adorned with artwork from the family’s personal collection.

There’s no restaurant, but, during the warmer months, breakfast is served in the charming garden, where magnolia and pomegranate trees are blooming.

»tractus infinitus vr« by jörg piringer (+)

(for iphone. best viewed with google cardboard or any other vr headset for iphone)

a poetic audio-visual hallucination inspired by ludwig wittgenstein’s tractatus logico-philophicus in virtual reality. fly through the acoustic and visual echoes of the literary traces of wittgenstein’s logic terms and sentences. change the course of the erratic computer generated script by gazing at gigantic three-dimensional letter clusters that drag you into their mysterious signs and shapes. travel through words and listen to the eerie soundscape that surrounds them. tractatus infinitus is an infinite journey through philosophy, sound poetry and typographic landscapes.

@fer1972:

My book of poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published in 1888. The most amazing thing is the dedication note. It says «The cat & the house to their Ferdinand» and my name is Fernando! It seems that this book travelled 126 in time to finish in my hands…

This is amazing, Fer! Thank you!
