In the third episode of La Biennale on Air, we explore a range of projects that capture the breadth of La Biennale di Venezia’s artistic and intellectual landscape. From a musical tribute to Franco Battiato and a dialogue with the humanoid robot Alter3 on the themes of the Biennale Architettura 2025, to early insights into the 61st International Art Exhibition (9 May > 22 November 2026) and a powerful homage to Pier Paolo Pasolini on the 50th anniversary of his death, the episode brings together voices, archives and experiments. It also includes the latest news, with the theatrical release of The Smashing Machine. Contributions come from Malika Ayane, Carlo Ratti, Luc Steels, Willem Dafoe, and Dwayne Johnson – among others.

The music in this episode is drawn from the Historical Archive’s Special Project Arcipelago Battiato (17 > 18 November 2025, Teatro alle Tese, Arsenale).
