The Dream of Scipio

Abstract

The Dream of Scipio is a multimedia project started in 2018 and reflecting upon different interpretations of the concept of View from Above from classical literature to contemporary philosophy. The project is a collaboration between media artist Daniela de Paulis, the Italian Military Aviation and the Regional Park of the Appian Way, culminating in the virtual and physical re-enactment of the 1909 flight by the Wright Brothers over the ancient ruins of Rome. The flight is also known for its first aerial footage in the history of filmmaking taken from a plane.
