Creating light show for the "Last Judgement" is part of the "Nine of the classical works of art", in which Greenway had "revived" the Secret Supper "by Leonardo da Vinci (Leonardo da Vinci) and" The Marriage at Cana "by Paolo Veronese (Paolo Veronese).

He also plans to work with" Guernica "by Picasso (Pablo Picasso) and one of the works of Jackson Pollock (Jackson Pollock). "I think that these creations are worth exploring, and we do it with very modern technology. We project the image directly on the surface of the work - said Greenway. - To some it may seem the focus, joshing or iconoclasm. This is not a movie or animation, but it is associated with how to create works ».

« Think about what would happen if Michelangelo would have had electricity, just imagine what would look Sistine Cappella, if he was a director, working with holograms - as if it was exciting! In a sense, we give Michelangelo electricity ", - said Greenway.
