Abstract: This article describes The New Light, a site-specific light mapping intervention in the altar of the Museu Paroquial in Óbidos, Portugal – a church converted into a sacred art museum. The work suggests a reflection on our religious heritage and raises the question on churches as the true satisfying place to our spiritual needs. What are we missing? Is spirituality not important anymore? Can we be fulfilled as human beings if we are not conscious of a spiritual dimension? The New Light talks about the light in its spiritual dimension and this paper introduces the context of the work, discusses its motivation, describes the creative process from conceptualization to materialization and details the technical process for its construction. The article ends with a conclusion on both the creative process and the audience experience with written materials from the artist statement.
