In Minor Keys
minor versions is a media project by THE ARCHITECTURAL THINKING SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN, created for the Venice Art Biennale 2026 under the title In Minor Keys.

The project explores avatars as a contemporary visual language emerging from teenage digital culture.

It examines how recognition shifts when canonical major art figures are translated into multiple unstable versions.
