æthe r s p ac e
The forest that isn't there
æther s p ac e is an immersive artistic experience that transcends the boundaries of reality, opening a gateway to a hidden dimension. This ritualistic performance, held within the sacred space of the Sacro Monte di Orta's Unfinished Chapel, blends ancient wisdom with computational imagination, inviting participants into a journey of spiritual exploration and cosmic connection.
In the sacredness of the unfinished Chapel of Sacro Monte di Orta, the first ritual of the 11-11 Aetherspace project took place. An experience that transcended the boundaries of reality with the aim of opening a door to a hidden dimension, a dimension that only a few have the honor of knowing.
The air vibrates with an unknown, electrifying energy. The artists and creatives present, intoxicated by the allure of the unknown, open themselves up to the mystery, ready to be guided in this spiritual exploration.
The ritual aims to investigate the ether, the world of the elementals, the realm of spirits that hide behind the veil of reality. In this journey, there is no notion of time, only the eternal present.
The tools used for this rite are technology and computational imagination, which together create a bridge to the unknown, to the divine that resides in everything. The dim lights of the chapel blend with the images projected on the walls, creating a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere.
The energy intensifies, one can feel the presence of the elementals. Nature and technology merge in a symphonic chant, creating a harmony that envelops all participants in a unique sacredness.
In this ritual, we are welcomed by beings that inhabit a world different from ours, but at this moment, they open the doors to the unknown. The first ritual of 11-11 Aetherspace was an extraordinary experience, a journey into the ether that opened new doors to knowledge and awareness.
This ritual is part of: "The forest that isn't there".
Reconnect with nature and rediscover the sense of connections
and the invisible network that surrounds it.
