Moment Factory - Ode à la vie démo officiel
As ever, Gaudí's architecture continues to amaze and awe-inspire - almost 70 years after his death. The Montreal-based new media arts and entertainment studio, 'Moment Factory', in September 2012, transformed the Sagrada Familia into yet a more stunning and colourful vision, playing on the building's magnificent architecture. By use of video, lighting, performance and sound, the team of artists created the most magical of moments for its spectators. Inspired by the original coloured drawings of Gaudí, 'Moment Factory' projected a dazzling array of coloured lighting and motion onto the Roman Catholic Church that remains uncompleted since the untimely death of its creator.
'Images cascaded across the front of the church, from a brightly coloured display of birds to a mosaic, to a tropical paradise, complete with waterfall'- The Daily Mail
To relate this fantastic art installation to my own project, I was inspired by how Moment Factory completely transformed the Sagrada Familia. It proves how colour can almost entirely change a space. As you see the Sagrada Familia transformed you almost feel as if you are gazing into a fourth dimesional space - another world. It has inspired me to explore colour and how it can effect and transform 2D and 3D spaces.
