The Third Eye Prophecy Markers (Dark Collection – Sistine Chapel) were made as analogue markers to activate digital augmented reality content. Hybrid devices, they were designed to teleport a series of site-specific digital sculptures geolocated by Luca Pozzi to the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican museums at Easter 2020 and distribute them at will among the Universal Judgement and New and Old Testament scenes.
Inspired by research on quantum gravity and non-commutative geometry, the installation consists of a series of eleven configurations obtained by repeating an oval-shaped symbol connected to triangular hinges by table tennis balls held in magnetic pull attraction.
The work underlines the existence of correlations at a distance between apparently incompatible places and times. The Third Eye Prophecy Markers (Dark Collection – Sistine Chapel): [1a] Perugino (Baptism of Christ) e Botticelli (Temptation of Christ); [1b] Botticelli (Temptation of Christ) e Ghirlandaio (Vocation of the Apostles); [1c] Ghirlandaio (Vocation of the Apostles) e Rosselli (Sermon on the Mount); [1d] Rosselli (Sermon on the Mount) e Perugino (Delivery of the keys); [1e] Perugino (Delivery of the keys) e Rosselli (Last Supper); [1f] Perugino (Moses Leaving to Egypt) e Botticelli (The Trials of Moses); [1g] Botticelli (The Trials of Moses) e Ghirlandaio (The Crossing of the Red Sea); [1h] Ghirlandaio (The Crossing of the Red Sea) e Rosselli (Descent from Mount Sinai); [1i] Rosselli (Descent from Mount Sinai) e Botticelli (Punishment of the Rebels); [1l] Botticelli (Punishment of the Rebels) e Signorelli (Testament and Death of Moses); [1m] Michelangelo Buonarroti (Universal Judgment).
