Heretics Gate, digital installation by Doug Foster
From the Ebert Club Newsletter:
"The Heretics' Gate" draws inspiration from Dante's Inferno, the first part of his epic poem The Divine Comedy. A twenty foot high, arched screen and a thirty foot long reflecting pool, are cleverly combined to deliver a mesmerizing and strangely ethereal vision of hell at the central focus point of the church's imposing gothic architecture.
What can I say... I'm waiting for the BP to weigh in. This must be quite amazing in situ... the following link has video of the piece and contains an interview with the artist...

But I have to say that I'm also quite enamored of the amateur links around the web with people walking by and talking... the 'bad' recordings that capture a something completely different about the piece.
Still, imagine wandering into a chapel at the cathedral and seeing THAT!
