Academia del Lincei Immersive installation

Academia del Lincei Project

A digital iconography for the Divine Comedy. During November 2021, with OpenLab Company, we developed an interactive installation to be placed in a fantastic location, the Accademia dei Lincei Library.

The installation consists of 10 cubes with stages of Dante as a digital iconography for the Divine Comedy. The music is designed so all stations can sound together; nevertheless, each station has a proximity sensor to activate the sound.

As a narrative, each station has a ghost, an ‘*anima’*that appears as a protagonist of the audiovisual story represented.

Project commissioned by Accademia dei Lincei Library.
