The Looms and Threads of Sardinian artist Maria Lai inspire our reflection on the Grid. Our proposal wants to be halfway between unconscious creative action and the desire to render the project anonymous, considering its location in the Capo d’Orso military fortress, sculpted in Costa Smeralda (Italy).

It is conceived as a fully-fledged game. We look for the potential of the imagination as the ground for every process of learning and knowledge. The trace of the grid becomes an astronomical line, the path of an imaginary journey. A metaphor of the stars that were references for sailors and explorers in the Mediterranean Sea. We consider protagonists as Ptolemy (who used an Astrolabe to define it) or those who passed through all the adventurous battle to conquer it.

Along this imaginary journey, the technology of Oculus Rift helps visitors to visualize unknown tells of distant universes projecting it onto the wrecks of old boats and collecting distant elements in time and space.
