Every summer night in a town in France, an 18th century public square called Place Stanislas is transformed into a surreal canvas for light-projected art by a firm called Spectaculaires.

I’m not normally one for computer graphics, manga, animation or the like. But this work is incredibly sophisticated and impactful.

It’s difficult to explain what it is about without watching it, so here’s a link to a video where the team projects a huge video onto the Hotel de Ville and transforms its facade into an epic canvas for a surrealistic play.
