mymodernmet.com: If you were there on September 19, 2025, the Chateau de Chambord was likely unrecognizable. The UNESCO World Heritage Site in Chambord, France, was transformed into a canvas for the renowned French DJ and music producer Michael Canitrot. Using the technological magic of projection mapping, the massive Renaissance facade wore an ever-changing contemporary cloak choreographed to Canitrot’s electronic music.

I always think its very cool when art and performance is translated to unconventional spaces. The fact that video media is making this type of art even more portable and available is amazing. I think this is a great example of how new and emerging technologies can be embraced by the theater world to enhance performance while still leaning on tried and true techniques and principles. I am very eager to learn more about how projection mapping can help video and media integrate into the architecture of an already exisiting space, and how that can make projection look like part of a set instead of secondary to it. This technology makes this venue so much more versatile and adaptable to different genres and forms of performance, which brings more attention to the work of different artists and designers. I am excited to see how this technology continues to evolve and how designers continue to push the boundaries of the application of this tech.
I adore well-executed video & media design. This piece in particular intrigues me because of how unconventional it is on a surface level. A DJ held a rave in front of a Renaissance building, a UNESCO World Heritage site nevertheless, and then projection mapped it, making it come to life in sync with the music. I also like how this project is a synthesis of the new and the old, with modern designs and technology dancing across a building that is half a millennium old. Some of the most beautiful productions I have ever seen have integrated video and media design into the design in a very cohesive way, and it looks like this project has done that with particular excellence. As projection technology continues to develop, I cannot wait to see what artists do with newer technology. As technology continues to get smaller and more affordable, I imagine we will see it integrated into more spaces and in more innovative fashions.
