Title of the work: Visual-virtual survey on City 3.0 / Tourism 3.0.Year: 2017.Technique/Medium: Video.Synopsis: In this virtual survey presented through a video, a central question is posed to well-known politicians: what is the main transformation that affects contemporary cities and related phenomena, such as tourism and immigration?The City 3.0 and Tourism 3.0 (connected via Web 3.0 or ‘social-semantic’ web), are based on a network of social meanings and singular semantic interpretations about the public space of daily life. Such network is developed by the multiple agents who intervene in the urban fabric (local residents, tourists, immigrants, etc.). This is a ‘geo-neo-logical’ process. In other words, it takes place in a specific territory (hence the prefix ‘geo’), in a period of continuous innovation (at a ‘neo’ rhythm), and implies different languages mobilized by urban actors. ‘Logos’ means the language or reason produced by social actors.
