Scene from #AI More Than Human exhibition @barbicancentre #contemporaryart #museums #art #artificialintelligenceai #ai #digital #machinelearning #computervision #cultureisdigital
In addition to the Van Gogh exhibition, the digital museum @atelierdeslumieres has an #immersive experience called #dreamjapan which is quite #meditative. #cultureisdigital #contemporaryart #japan #hokusai #immersivetheatre #art
This is a snippet from the #vangogh exhibition @atelierdeslumieres - the #digital museum - in #paris. In reality the space functions somewhere between an art gallery, cinema and concert hall. There is very little interpretation and the paintings of Van Gogh have been animated to create movement and narrative. The succession of animated paintings are set to music - mixture of classical, blues and jazz - which I think is a crucial element of the experience. The large majority of visitors sit on the floor in the middle of space and let the images and music wash over them. That’s what I did. If you do not plan to visit Paris in the near future, the exhibition is traveling to York later this year. #cultureisdigital #digitalart #contemporaryart #painting #immersive #immersivetheatre #vincentvangogh
Really fun and engaging 360 degree dance film by Adam Faramawy currently on show as part of #collusion2019 @cambridgejunction #digitalart #contemporaryart #publicart #dance #cultureisdigital
