On April 3 – 6, French transmedia designer Miguel Chevalier created Magic Carpets 2014, a projection mapping experience that transformed an entire cathedral floor into an interactive magical experience. Set at Sacre Coeur in Casablanca, Morocco and designed by French architect Paul Tournoon in 1930, is a cathedral that is now mostly used as a cultural and entertainment venue.

Claude Mossessian took some amazing footage of the experience. Hit the jump for more details.

From the artist’s statement:

Magic Carpets revisit the tradition of the Islamic art, in particular the mosaic and the carpets. A huge light carpet covers the floor of Sacré Coeur church. When the viewer moves, the trajectory of the curves is disrupted under their feet. This world of colors and forms in movement, invites us into the magic universe of the “Arabian Nights” and the flying carpets with the music of Michel Redolfi. This installation has been made possible thanks to the French Institut et de Voxels Productions.
