"The project uses a modified military-grade laser system developed with engineers and physicists in Germany. At certain moments, the beam appears as a single vertical line extending into the atmosphere."
"The effect depends heavily on weather conditions and airborne particles, which catch and diffuse the beam into a visible form. From the canals and bridges across Venice, the circle reads with surprising precision."
"The beam operates at 515 nanometers, producing an intensely pure green frequency. According to the artist, the system also oscillates at 432hz, a tuning associated with meditative and healing practices."
"Meditation has always been a key aspect of my work. At a time when..."
Higher Power is a laser installation by Chris Levine, displayed above the lagoon in Venice during the 2026 Venice Art Biennale. The installation features a green ring projected from San Clemente Island, visible across the city until midnight from May 4th to 11th. The laser system, developed with engineers in Germany, creates a halo effect influenced by weather conditions. Levine's work emphasizes light as a medium, with the beam operating at 515 nanometers and oscillating at 432hz, linking to meditative practices.
