Independent nature

This project is unofficial and has no affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or official approval from Lionel Messi, his representatives, the Argentine Football Association (AFA), FIFA, CONMEBOL, clubs, sports competitions, broadcasters, producers, digital platforms, nor from any other individual or entity that may be related to the facts or content represented.

The use of names, recognizable images, sporting events, or historical references is solely for descriptive, artistic, and tribute purposes.

No element of this site should be interpreted as a statement of official association, license, authorization, or commercial link with the aforementioned people or organizations.

About the visualizations

The visual experiences presented on this site were developed through a proprietary process of analysis and computational processing of pre-existing audiovisual material.

This process generated new visual representations of an abstract nature, including point cloud visualizations, conceived as an artistic and technological reinterpretation of the original scenes.

The visualizations exhibited here are not reproductions of the original videos, nor do they intend to substitute access to them. They constitute an independent visual work, developed from information obtained during the computational analysis process and destined exclusively for the artistic experience proposed by this project.

Intellectual property

We fully recognize and respect all intellectual property rights, copyrights, related rights, image rights, trademarks, and other rights that may be held by the authors, producers, sports organizations, broadcasters, platforms, photographers, camerapeople, and other right holders connected to the audiovisual materials used as references.

We do not claim ownership of these materials, nor of the original audiovisual works, sports broadcasts, historical records, trademarks, logos, crests, uniforms, commentaries, or any other protected element that might be related to the represented events.

All such rights belong to their respective holders.

Credits and acknowledgments

This project was made possible thanks to the existence of audiovisual records documenting some of the most representative moments of Lionel Messi's career.

As part of our commitment to transparency and the recognition of others' work, we strive to identify and credit, whenever possible, the sources used as reference during the creative process.

Some of the audiovisual material used as reference was obtained from content available on YouTube, a platform that allowed access to historical records used exclusively as a starting point for computational processing and the generation of the visualizations presented on this site.

Any mention of YouTube is solely descriptive regarding the origin of the consulted material and does not imply that the platform holds rights over the content or that there is any relationship, authorization, license, sponsorship, or approval from YouTube or any rightful holders of the respective rights.

We thank everyone—individuals, organizations, and media—who over the years have recorded, preserved, and disseminated these historic moments, making it possible for them to be part of sports’ audiovisual heritage today.

Good faith

This project was developed from a place of admiration and respect for Lionel Messi, his sporting legacy, and all those involved in the creation, production, documentation, and preservation of the related audiovisual records.

There is no intention to claim authorship of third-party content, to create confusion about its origin, to impact the normal exploitation of the original works, or to infringe on third-party intellectual property rights.

Our sole purpose is to offer an artistic and technological reinterpretation that celebrates Lionel Messi’s career from a creative and innovative perspective.
