EN - Neelie Kroes, EC Vice President in charge of #DigitalAgenda, and Jaume Duch, European Parliament Spokesman, visit the Sistine Chapel illuminated with the #LED4Art EU funded project - 29.10.2014 - Vatican City/Holy See. On Thursday the 29th of October, Neelie KROES, EC Vice President in charge of Digital Agenda, has visited the Sistine Chapel illuminated with the LED4Art EU funded. Michelangelo’s paintings in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel are getting a second life thanks to a revolutionary new Light Emitting Diode (LED) system, funded by an EU research project called LED4ART. The 7,000 diodes of the installation mean Michelangelos frescoes can be seen as never before: some can now be seen in three dimensions from the floor level for the first time, and all can be viewed more precisely. The new system saves 60% on energy costs and emissions, and the gentler technology reduces the ageing of the painting compared to the old system. © Frédérick Moulin 2014 & © EU2014 - EC - All rights reserved.
