BIT.R.I.O.L

BIT.R.I.O.L. is a meditative Augmented Reality installation by Tanky – Leticia Almeida and C0BRA – Mathías Chumino. The title comes from the acronym V.I.T.R.I.O.L., in Latin “Visita Interiora Terræ Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem”, meaning “Visit the interior of the earth, and by rectifying, you will discover the hidden stone.” Inspired by the alchemical tradition and rites of passage, with a Technopagan approach, BIT.R.I.O.L. proposes an esoteric experience of contemplation, reflection and transcendence. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. Arthur C. Clarke
