Designed by CRA – Carlo Ratti Associati, the Centre features an immersive, science-based journey across three interconnected rooms. Dotdotdot was responsible for the video storytelling and scientific data interpretation that animate the multimedia installations, transforming complex oceanographic information into accessible, emotional experiences.

Dotdotdot conceived and produced two large immersive maps projected onto thin layers of water covering two sculptural tables: one shaped like the Spilhaus (a world map centered on the ocean) and the other like the Venice Lagoon. These dynamic data visualizations draw on research from UNESCO’s marine biologists, CMCC (Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change), CNR (National Research Council), and Copernicus.

The first room explores the global ocean, showcasing real-time and historical data on currents, temperature, salinity, sea levels, maritime routes, and animal migrations. The second focuses on the Venice Lagoon, with high-resolution seasonal data revealing the lagoon's shifting ecology.

All visualizations are accompanied by a multichannel soundscape composed by Dotdotdot. Inspired by minimalist composers such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass, the soundtrack layers melodic and rhythmic motifs to reflect the ocean’s dynamism and amplify the viewer’s sensory engagement.
