History of Science Light Show in Winchester Cathedral
This was part of the spectacular show of light entitled ‘Science’, created and produced by Luxmuralis Artistic Collaboration.
Visitors were able to walk through the History of Science in the stunning interior of Winchester Cathedral. Almost every inch of the Cathedral was bathed in light and full of beautiful original compositions.
The display saw the almost 1000-year-old building become the canvas for an exploration of the way in which scientists have shaped the past and will influence the future. This unforgettable multi-sensory experience transports visitors through elements, molecules, DNA, and the greatest discoveries of humanity, as we contemplate the wonders that make up the world around us.
The installation was the creation of the award-winning collaboration of artists known as Luxmuralis, a collaborative team of artists from different backgrounds and artistic disciplines who create works across multiple media and presentation formats. Core to their work is the opportunity to explore the development of fine art tradition through new media, placing the medium in an art historical context.
In this part of the cathedral the choir stalls are earliest nearly complete set in England dating from about 1308. The back wall has a blind arcade of pairs of trefoiled arches with encircled cinquefoils above and exuberant foliage in the spandrels. In front of the panels are thin shafts supporting cinquefoiled arches and encircled cinquefoils.
The scrolling list of chemical compound here was being projected onto the Great Screen. This was built in 1455-75, of fine-grained limestone, behind the high altar. The present statues are 19th century, which explains the presence of Queen Victoria among the Saxon monarchs. The original statuary was broken up at the time of the Reformation but much was recovered and is displayed in the Triforium Gallery. The whole restoration of the Great Screen was overseen by Dean Kitchin.
