Digital Supernova transforms the cathedral’s Gothic vaults into a moving field of light. Miguel Chevalier’s generative imagery combines coloured networks, imagined celestial maps and astronomical material developed with astrophysicist Fabio Acero.

Jacopo Baboni Schilingi’s generative composition draws on recorded fragments of liturgical chants from different periods. Morphogenetic algorithms transform these recordings into continually changing musical variations, creating a space for listening and contemplation.
