Medieval History
Ruins of St Mary?s Abbey in York turned into a digital canvas
The ruins of St Mary?s Abbey are to be lit up with giant medieval faces and echo with music and sound effects as the highlight of York digital arts festival.
Ross Ashton, whose light installation Accendo will also be projected on to the Yorkshire Museum, said that he was exploring ?the relationship between science and religion, both of which try to make sense of the world. I took my inspiration from the parallels between York?s iconic buildings and the historic principles of science and religion.?
Ashton has previously projected his light installations on to Buckingham Palace.
The festival, which begins today, showcases several artists and hopes to encourage people to look at the city at night in a different way.
