This ethereal star is created using two laser projectors, set high up in the Cathedral's roof, directing light onto a transparent mesh to form the image. The Star of Bethlehem appears as a morphing geometric shape, moving slowly and gracefully across the space.
Visitors to the Cathedral can interact with the artwork by operating an iPad to change the star's appearance and colour. As part of the installation, a haze machine, also set up high in the Cathedral, expels a fine mist, picking up the laser light and transforming it into a dazzling three-dimensional image.
The image is created by a computer algorithm code written by Haebich and transmitted via the iPad to the projectors.
