"Dilemmas, answers, resources, attempts, strategies, utopias are faced also in a PLATFORM that is part of the project,
published as extract on Maldives Pavilion catalogue and as full content in a booklet.
I decided to involve a wide circle of players, more than 30 curators and researchers – since Sanskrit name of Maldives Mālā-dvīpa literally means garland of islands.
I realized an extended interview asking to everyone the same three questions:
three FAQ asked by the global mass to Google.com.
Inviting to face dilemmas, to answer to THE ICE MONOLITH."
Here the questions:
..- How not to disappear? -..
..- What is affecting the Earth? -..
..- How does art influence society? -..

....

"Dilemmi, risposte, risorse, tentativi, strategie, utopie sono affrontate anche in una PLATFORM, una piattaforma di discussione parte del progetto,
pubblicata sul catalogo del Padilgione Maldive come estratto, e in forma completa su un libretto.
Ho deciso di coinvolgere una vasta cerchia di protagonisti – visto che il nome sanscrito delle Maldive Mala-dvipa significa letteralmente ghirlanda di isole.
Ho realizzato un'intervista estesa ponendo ad ognuno le medesime tre domande:
tre FAQ (frequently asked questions) chieste dalla massa globale a Google.com.
Invitando ad affrontare dilemmi, a rispondere all'ICE MONOLITH."
Ecco le domande:
..- Come non scomparire? -..
..- Che cosa sta influenzando la Terra? -..
..- In che modo l'arte influenza la società? -..
