ARCHiVe is devoted to preserving Venice’s culture; its contemporary life as well as its historic past.
Duringthe 2019VeniceBiennale, thepinkflareofBanksy’sTheMigrantChildfirstappearedjustabovethewaterlineonapalacefacingthe Canal ofDorsoduroinVenice.In thesameyear,amidfloodingand rumoursthatthemuralwasscheduledforremoval,ARCHiVedecidedto recordTheMigrantChildin high-resolutiontodemonstratetheurgentneedtopreserveanddocumentculturalheritagebeforeitislostordamaged.
From 2022 this year the Factum team finalized the processing of the data and rematerialised the painting and a section of the wall around it.
The high-resolution photogrammetry was recorded by Gabriel Scarpa, operating from a distance in a boat in the canal, which was a significant challenge. However, the results have encouraged a study into the condition of the wall and will enable a detailed condition monitoring of the work.The work to monitor the condition of the impact of the water on the fabric of the city is a core part of ARCHiVe’s mission. The Divirod sensors, installed on the island, are monitoring the level of the water, the wind direction, the wave frequency and the wave intensity 24/7 using ambient signals from passing satellites.
