Solo Maria Vittoria

She is the Mona Lisa of Austria—you think they will just let her go? 

French artist Miguel Chevalier (previously featured here) recently transformed another beautiful cathedral interior into an awesome immersive site-specific art installation. This time he used the stunning interior of King’s College Chapel, the 16th century chapel University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England.

Chevalier was invited to design his breathtaking displays to accompany speeches of renowned professors and alumni on subjects including black holes, health, Africa, biology, neuroscience, physics, and biotechnologies. He creation a series of dazzling realtime projections that transformed the chapel’s gothic arches into mesmerizing galaxies and starfields, swirling psychedelic clouds, fields of university crests, foliage and flowers, and created a giant roiling son high overhead.

“To illustrate Stephen Hawking’s research about black holes, Miguel Chevalier imagines an immersive environment made up of thousands of constellations that plunge the guests into the mystery of the universe. in the same spirit, each of the projections entices the audience into a remarkable and imaginative atmosphere where science meets spirituality.”
