Flying Over Time Collection
Prototype 3 (Digital Projection), Dimensions Unpublished, Digital Projection on Prepared Canvas Screen with Mixed-Media, by Nova Hall. Provenance: Unveiled during major presentations for the Flying Over Time 501(c)(3) educational charity. Note: Not for sale; Institutional Exhibition Asset.

Prototype 3 shatters the two-dimensional plane, representing the ultimate technological evolution of the Robert Rauschenberg assemblage. Acting on the visionary concepts discussed with mentor Leandro Soto, Nova Hall prepared a massive, hanging mixed-media canvas screen—raw, textured, and inherently tied to the Arte Povera movement. Onto this physical substrate, a looping digital projection of over 950 authentic, high-resolution archival images and blueprints from the Donald A. Hall Estate is cast. The resulting collision of physical paint and digital light creates a haunting, four-dimensional ghost of the 1927 Spirit of St. Louis factory floor. A masterstroke of historical preservation through contemporary art, this specific prototype directly inspired the creation of the Flying Over Time 501(c)(3) educational charity.
