The Notre-Dame Basilica, among Montreal's famous landmarks, is a visually pleasing
symphony of paintings, gilded sculptures and stained-glass windows. Built in 1829,
the cathedral is considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic
architecture and is one of the most recognizable church buildings in the world.
AURA is among Moment Factory's most ambitious and creative illumination projects
to date. This 45-minute immersive sound, light and video projection-mapping
experience is staged inside the Basilica.
Initiated to mark Montreal's 375th anniversary celebrations, AURA was born out
of a desire to bring this iconic heritage landmark to life in a new way. The
project uses intricate projection-mapping technology to highlight the intricacy
and beauty of the Basilica's majestic architecture and sacred art.
Because of the Basilica's ornate interior architecture, the projection mapping
system deployed to achieve AURA had to be fully integrated with the space.
After extensive research, creative teams meticulously completed a 3D scan of
the cathedral that acts as a complex digital canvas for the projections'
creative content.
AURA was born from collaboration between the Moment Factory team and the
Fabrique de la Paroisse Notre-Dame, managers of the Basilica. Since the
project's conception in 2015, over 100 people have worked in close collaboration
to produce it. Achieving this vision required a year of musical composition
and recording, four intense months of visual content production, 90 days of
installation and a month of content integration and testing.
Everyone will experience something different, will connect with the basilica
through their own eyes and senses. AURA inspires a feeling.
All done most beautifully for the glory of God!
