the connections to the external devices.
The entire process of installing, adapting,
configuring and commissioning the system
was carried out in Rome within 12 days, under
the direction of Jonathan Kruschel and Oliver
Nachbauer from Movecat, while, to prepare them
for the task ahead, the operators were trained
to super-user level at the Movecat Academy in
Nufringen, Germany.
Meeting strict requirements
The project, Giudizio Universale. Michelangelo
and the Secrets of the Sistine Chapel, is
Artainment’s first production. The company, part
of the Worldwide Shows Corporation, was
founded specially for productions of this kind.
“I am proud to have created, in Giudizio
Universale, a long-term production and one that
meets the strict academic requirements imposed
by the Vatican Museums,” says Balich.
The client is delighted with the new attraction.
“The Vatican Museums are forever negotiating
a fraught path between tradition and innovation,”
explains director Barbara Jatta. “This is essential
to the proper functioning of an institution that
STAGE TECHNOLOGY
welcomes more than six million visitors each
year and is willing to embrace new forms of
communication. It is in this context that the
collaboration between the Vatican Museums and
Artainment must be seen and judged.” n
