The Maker Gene: Arduino at International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia

Arduino is a contributor of the Weekend Specials section of Monditalia at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia, on September 5th and 6th, curated by Rem Koolhaas. Arduino has been chosen as an outstanding example of how the open-source, collaborative approach is reshaping the world of technology and design.

The open-source movement has had an increasingly significant social and technological impact over the last few decades. People are more and more willing to learn to independently adapt products and software to their needs, and eager to share their knowledge.

Arduino, an open-source electronics prototyping platform, is playing a crucial role in this phenomenon. Over the years it has offered a guided, creative experience with programming and electronics, mainly through the huge contribution of its community. The use of Arduino inspired and allowed the creation of countless interactive objects and environments, available for a non-tech-savvy audience to experiment and play with.
