Virtual Reality installation about Zoroaster: Friedrich Nietzsche, David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust), Freddie Mercury (Queen) and Il Casanova di Federico Fellini feat. Nino Rota. Next comes Mercury, then the Moon, then Jupiter, and then the Sun. It is, you see, the magic cycle of Zoroaster, in which Saturn and Mars are omitted.

Zoroastro come ispiratore di tante robe arcane e pop, figura ancestrale di grande ubiquità ma invisibile - come si suole per un mago. Dall'epocale E così parlò Zarathustra in poi la sua discesa dalla montagna del più inattuale profeta non si è più arrestata attualizzandosi ad ogni suo passo, dove icone pop come David Bowie alias Ziggy Stardust hanno proiettato il profetico Nietzsche nel nuovo millennio, zoroastriani insospettabili come il Sir mancato ma già più che reale, Queen of the Night e King dei Queen, la rockstar Freddie Mercury con i suoi costumi di scena e testi emblematici ha manifestato simboli arcani della sua fede ad insaputa di un pubblico mondiale, geni indiscussi come Federico Fellini e Nino Rota nella loro interpretazione di Casanova, spasmodico maestro in tutte le arti più sublimi e adepto del Mago dei Magi, hanno creato nuovi mondi attraversati da quella magia che entrambi ognuno a suo squisito modo e insieme ammaliava e ispirava. Mondi che il collettivo artistico ARTOLDO può ora far vivere in una realtà virtuale, invitandovi a viaggiare attraverso l'universo di Bowie, il palcoscenico spirituale di Mercury e la fantastica e magica Venezia di Casanova per scoprirvi non solo ologrammi di queste gigantesche personalità, ma anche messaggi occultati in marche come Tesla, Mazda, Zadig & Voltaire e altri rimandi allo zoroastrismo come religione matrice culturale di tanta parte dell'esistente.
When all the world was very young. And mountain magic heavy hung. The supermen would walk in file. Guardians of a loveless isle. And gloomy browed with superfear. Their endless tragic lives. Could heave nor sigh. In solemn, per serenity. Wondrous beings chained to life. Strange games they would play then. No death for the perfect men. Life rolls into one for them. So softly a supergod cries. Where all were minds in uni-thought. Power weird by mystics taught. No pain, no joy, no power too great. Colossal strength to grasp a fate. Where sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers. Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold. A man would tear his brother's flesh. A chance to die. To turn to mold. Far out in the red-sky. Far out from the sad eyes. Strange, mad celebration. So softly a supergod cries. Far out in the red-sky. Far out from the sad eyes. Strange, mad celebration. So softly a supergod dies.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landside, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango! Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me. Galileo, Galileo. Galileo, Galileo. Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo. Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go. Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, For meee. It's a kind of magic. It's a kind of magic. A kind of magic (No way). One dream, one soul. One prize, one goal. One golden glance of what should be. It's a kind of magic. One shaft of light that shows the way. No mortal man can win this day. It's a kind of magic. The bell that rings inside your mind. Is challenging the doors of time. It's a kind of magic. The waiting seems eternity. The day will dawn of sanity (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) Is this a kind of magic? It's a kind of magic. There can be only one. This rage that lasts a thousand years. Will soon be done. This flame that burns inside of me. I'm hearing secret harmonies. It's a kind of magic. The bell that rings inside your mind. Is challenging the doors of time. It's a kind of magic. It's a kind of magic. This rage that lasts a thousand years. Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be done. This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic (yeah) There can be only one (one, one, one) This rage that lasts a thousand years.
