Italian Arte Povera pioneer Michelangelo Pistoletto has launched a global public art project titled "Three Mirrors," broadcasting digital works across major cities including London, Los Angeles, Seoul, and Milan. Organized by the digital art platform Circa, the series features three filmed performances of the artist drawing on mirrors, illustrating his "Third Paradise" philosophy. The works appear daily at 20:26 local time on prominent advertising screens, transforming commercial spaces into sites for artistic reflection.
This initiative highlights the growing role of digital public art in addressing global instability through the artist's concept of "preventive peace." By hijacking high-traffic commercial billboards for civic discourse, the project seeks to move beyond traditional gallery walls to reach a mass audience. Furthermore, the collaboration supports humanitarian efforts, with proceeds from related editions benefiting the United Nations Global Emergency Response Fund and educational programs at Pistoletto’s foundation.
