From 1 May to 15 May 2021, the digital art festival New Normal is held in Basel, where Giacomo Veronesi and Barbara Weber present their installation NEVERGREEN.

Diorama is happy to have participated in the realization of this augmented reality installation.

Nevergreen is the digital representation, in original scale, of a ship, which remembers the incident in the Suez Canal, happened 23rd March, caused from a mega-container Ever Green, 400 metres long and 59 metres wide, stranded north of the port of Suez, probably due to a strong wind. This event has had major repercussions worldwide with an estimated economic loss of 9.6 billion dollars per day, as as we know, transits through the Canal are worth 12% of world trade.

The intention of the installation, however, is not to recall it but to recall the different questions, especially on local transport, related to this event.

The public, during the fifteen days of the festival, will be able to meet, along the Rhine promenade, a Qr-code to scan and pointing the smartphone to the river will be able to admire the installation.
