If you check out the website: imagine-Van Gogh.com the information is extensive on the history of the technology and people who created it: I have taken this from the website to give you a glimpse but do read the website and further sites to get all of the good information available! So….. website quote: ”The very first art immersive exhibition was invented in 1977 by Albert Plecy, a French photographer in Les Baux-de-Provence, South of France. He transformed there a former underground quarry into an immersive venue named Cathedrale d’Images. The visitors were fully immersed in the paintings, screenings through his new technique of Image Totale@. In 2001 Annabelle Mauger joined the creative team and created the first Van Gogh immersive exhibition. The show was presented in 2011 at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore. The creation was then copied and various digital VanGogh exhibitions toured around the world. In 2017 Annabelle Mauger and Julien Baron presented in Halle de La Villette in Paris a new upgraded version in Image Total@: Imagine Van Gogh…..” Also ….” they employed advanced techniques of multi-projection and immersive audio to add emotional depth to each image, allowing us to live and feel the creative energy of the esteemed artist.’”
Also …. ”visitors wander amongst giant projections of the artist’s paintings, swept away by every brushtroke, detail, painting medium and colour. Immersed in an extraordinary experience where all the senses become fully awakened, viewers will be truly moved by such spectacular beauty. Visitors discover more than 200 of Van Gogh’s paintings, including his most famous works, painted between 1888 and 1890 in Provence, Arles and Auvers-sun-Oise” All quotes from the above website. The exhibition has suspended panels at the beginning before entering the exhibit which offers great historical information on VanGogh and his life as well as the technological background of the displays. Very comprehensive and interesting insights which enhance the experience of the exhibit itself.
I had no expectations or opinions prior to my visit and was profoundly touched by the experience as though I had glimpsed the artist and his life mystically through the moving images in an enclosed large space (floor was also used as an extension of the walls) and dramatically appropriate music ….. a total surround visual and audio experience! It was like being in a dream state of a most splendid ethereal world as feathers touched all senses. A truly wonderful experience which stayed with me for days and still resides in my Being!
