The Projection Studio is celebrating its second consecutive festive installation at Windsor Castle in Windsor, UK, with digital art shows inspired by the stained glass windows at a chapel within the grounds.

The studio’s Ross Ashton created the material for the 10-minute projection show from photographs he took in St George’s Chapel, of stained glass windows depicting monarchs, coats of arms and historic decorative elements and intricate ceiling and organ pipe decorations. The chapel’s red door is overlaid with gold and metallic features, which were also photographed and integrated into the highly textured projections.
A single Panasonic PZ21K projector fitted with a portrait adaption kit was used to shoot images onto the castle’s central 20-metre tall tower. Millumin software served as an ideal control platform for the single projector installation.

“It’s fantastic that projected art is being recognised as something that can unify and entertain communities and also boost local businesses very cost-effectively as a result,” said Windsor’s town centre manager Paul Roach, who commissioned the project.
