In the heart of Paris, the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay is preparing evenings of light and sound. In this way, the institution blends heritage and technology to share art in a new way. What’s more, the public can take advantage of both free and ticketed events, such as a New Year’s Eve party on a Parisian rooftop<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Caillebotte en Lumi\u00e8re: video mapping at the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay<\/h2>\n

The “Caillebotte en Lumi\u00e8re” event brings stone and volumes to life. From December 5 to 7, 2024<\/strong>, monumental images interact with paintings by Gustave Caillebotte. In this way, the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay offers a visual journey featuring water, the city and modernity. As a result, each sequence recounts an emotion rather than a simple effect, as in certain immersive creations at the Petit Palais in Paris<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The show is free<\/strong> and designed for all ages. What’s more, the short format allows families to come and go at their own pace. In addition, reception teams are on hand to guide the public and ensure a smooth flow of traffic. In short, the evening is spent standing up, facing the projections, in a festive atmosphere reminiscent of the great Christmas evenings in the Paris region<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Visual and musical creation at the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay<\/h3>\n

The video mapping sequences are the result of joint work between schools and technicians. Students design the images, while young composers imagine the soundtrack. At the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay, this pedagogical bridge enhances talents and feeds on field experience. As a result, the public perceives a coherent artistic gesture, from image to sound, as accomplished as the goldsmith’s work on a fine timepiece<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“Light sets in motion the memory of the works.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Video mapping requires precise location scouting and calibration tests. What’s more, the creators adjust each sequence to respect the lines of the building. In addition, the music is designed as a cue to guide the public’s gaze and breath. At the same time, the system is kept light to preserve the site. <\/p>\n

At Gobelins, l’\u00e9cole de l’image, the “Graphic Motion Design” curriculum serves as a laboratory. Students create the video mapping sequences for “Caillebotte en Lumi\u00e8re”. <\/p>\n
