Sailing into tomorrow—but how? 
For the final weekend, the Salon Suisse 4 turns its gaze to the future: What is the nature of the conditions, opportunities and dangers of the 21st century? What can we expect from Big Data and Artificial Intelligence? What does the “fourth industrial revolution” signify for both individuals and society? How will it change our everyday lives? To ensure the future does not remain techno-centric, the Salon Suisse 4 will reunite macro-sociologists and AI researchers with architects, artists, writers and architectural historians to unveil a contemporary culture that deserves to be called “humane”. This final edition of the Salon Suisse 2018 consists of three soirées and one exploration to take place on Campo Santa Margherita in the historic centre of Venice with the screening of a short-film.
