To celebrate the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris after the devastating fire of 2019, the world-famous cathedral is coming to the Ars Electronica Center in Linz. In collaboration with French start-ups Iconem and Histovery, the Ars Electronica Futurelab is presenting Notre-Dame in Deep Space 8K as an immersive experience. Visitors can explore a vast three-dimensional model of the cathedral, discovering its architectural and artistic features from entirely new perspectives.

Notre-Dame de Paris has witnessed monumental historical events, including Napoleon Bonaparte’s coronation as emperor, and stands as a symbol of human creativity, immortalized in Victor Hugo’s renowned novel. On April 15th, 2019, the cathedral was nearly destroyed by a devastating fire, but was saved by the efforts of over 600 firefighters. The world responded with overwhelming generosity, donating nearly one billion Euros for its reconstruction. Since then, almost 1,000 workers have been dedicated to restoring the cathedral to its former glory.
