MASTERFUL HISTORY

Art, science, and technology were intertwined on the surface of the Pantheon. The monument’s facade was virtually reimagined and turned into the masterly stage setting for a contemporary architectural production, enhanced by the screening of the majestic “Temple of Light_Ultra at Pantheon” by multidisciplinary creative hub OUCHHH. The real-time generative artwork was curated by Reasoned Art, thus creating a bridge between cultural heritage and innovation. The temple of the gods of Ancient Rome was the scene of an iconic art installation consisting of three moments, one of which was in Live real time. The beginning and the end of the show saw thousands of pieces of data from the history of Italian architecture and art that, through artificial intelligence algorithms, have been reworked and projected on the pronaos of the Pantheon. In the intermediate section of the event, the orchestra of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia made its debut with a live performance. On stage, the 8 + 8 Percussion Ensemble of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia - Alta Formazione, led by Edoardo Giachino, gave a breathtaking concert, notably demonstrating exceptional percussion mastery. The artwork, at this moment of the show, has been created in Live, using data extracted from the brain waves of the conductor monitored through an EEG Headset device. The ultimate result was a stunning creation of a never-before-seen work that crosses the boundary between man and machine, merging the flow of human consciousness with the flow of data collected and reprocessed through artificial intelligence algorithms.

“The mastery of Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia magnifies the majesty of the Octo Watch,” said Antoine Pin, Bulgari Watches Managing Director. “The rhythm of the music fused with the digital AI artwork by Ouchhh artists creates the perfect scenery to express 10 years of a recordbreaking journey.”
