Virtual Reality Sky by Artist Miguel Chevalier

Miguel Chevalier has projected onto the ceiling of Saint-Eustache Church in Paris, Voûtes Célestes. Visitors are invited to walk, to sit on the benches and look up at the heavens. Cycling through 35 different colored networks, the ceiling glowed with each successive pattern, highlighting the grand architecture that laid below the swirling universes above.

The work, accompanied by musical improvisations played by Baptiste-Florian Marle-Ouvrard on the organ, was produced for Nuit Blanche 2016 on the first of October. Visitors to the virtual reality artwork were invited to wander or lie down beneath the false sky above, aesthetically immersed in a wash of sonic and visual splendor.
