FROM REPRESENTATION TO EXPERIENCE: THE CENTURIES OLD SACRAL SPACES REVIVED THROUGH VIDEO-MAPPING PROJECTIONS
FROM REPRESENTATION TO EXPERIENCE: THE CENTURIES OLD SACRAL SPACES REVIVED THROUGH VIDEO-MAPPING PROJECTIONS

Summary/Abstract: The study offers a series of aperçus that slowly unravel the diverse contemporary events, methods and visual ties which turn worldwide sacral buildings into a new type of experiential spaces. Working in conjunction, artists and institutions are using the latest 3D projection technology that can completely transform any surface with spectacular display of light and color to produce a moving tribute of illuminations with sound for the audience. Although the chapters follow a loosely chronological schema, the research does not paint a continuous cultural history but contemporary topics, methods and their technological framework. The exterior and interior of these sacral spaces are re-interpreted through illuminations on the façade, the ceiling, the altar, and the pipe organs through commemorations, anniversaries, Light Festival events turning churches into reflective and meditative cultural spaces.
