Van Gogh: An Immersive Journey

Immersive Experience, 2022

Van Gogh’s artworks and life are transformed into an experiential storytelling in four sections, with digital interpretations and futuristic predictions.
By diving into his subconsciousness, we experience the fragments of his memory through his eyes. We chase the sun with him to the South, and watch him recreate endless scenery through his confinement window.
Through his eyes, paintings turn into living sceneries and futuristic 3D environments. Through artistic reinterpretation, his imagination creates imaginary landscapes, living paintings in which we stroll in.
Finally, a custom software categorizes and analyzes an extensive dataset of Van Gogh artworks, and AI-generated imagery is created with high-dimensional algorithms and neural networks.
