Nam June Paik's 'analog immersive' installation revisited in present era of digital projections

It was 1995 when Nam June Paik (1932-2006) flooded a small, centuries-old baroque church tucked away on the outskirts of Munster, Germany, with a kaleidoscopic laser projection - birthing the installation titled “Baroque Laser.” With all the windows closed, the dark, enclosed chapel and its domed roof became a playground for the visionary creator to explore the potential of lasers as an artistic medium used for projecting 3D images, almost like a spectral hologram - an inconceivable pursuit at the time.
