WATCH: New artwork floating in Venice canals
New artwork has been added to the city’s canal collection
The floating city of Venice now has a new claim to fame, with a giant floating fresco sailing through the canals.
The work of a French-Swiss graffiti artist is a close-up of two people’s hands holding each other.
The artist says his work is part of a global project, designed to promote “Finding common solutions” to the problems humanity faces.
Floating through the Venetian canals, he adds this is symbolic of the fragile times we are living through given “Venice is a city that floats on water” at the mercy of climate change.
The city is gradually sinking
In 2019, Venice experienced the second-worst flood in history with fears of the increasing impact of climate change.
Venice’s layout, built on log piles among cannels, makes the city vunrable to climate change. Especially as the rising sea levels are leading to the gradual inundating of the 1,600-year-old city.
According to a recent study published by the European Geosciences Union, Venice’s worst-case scenario for the rise in sea level by the end of the century is 120 centimetres.

EU fines Elon Musk’s platform X €120 million for DSA violations, highlighting tech scrutiny and potential regulatory clashes.
In a landmark ruling, the European Union has imposed a €120 million fine on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, citing violations of new digital regulations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This fine underscores the EU’s increasing scrutiny of tech giants and sets the stage for a potential clash between Elon Musk, the European Commission, and even political figures like former President Trump.
Chris Berg from RMIT University joins us to break down the reasons behind the fine, including X’s controversial handling of the blue tick verification system, and what this means for transparency and user rights on digital platforms.
We also explore the broader implications of this ruling for other tech platforms like TikTok and how the EU is asserting its regulatory authority on an international stage.
