The opening of the Grote Kerk in Alkmaar is an important milestone; after five centuries, this gothic house of god is to play a more profane role as a modern multifunctional centre.

The Internet as public gallery; in just seven days, an enormous, 400 year-old triptych returns to the location it was originaly created for; de Grote Laurens Kerk in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. After the reformation in 1688, this triptych was sold and ended up in the Dom Church in Linköping, Sweden. Now the entire world can watch as the original is scanned in Sweden and send back in ‘pieces’ over the Internet to the Netherlands. Finally a computer-controlled plotter paints these pieces onto a blank 6 by 8 meter triptych.
