This exhibit might not be to everyone's liking because it isn't really a look at Van Gogh's paintings as much as a look at the details in those paintings coming alive. The digitally designed show takes the artwork and makes it move, makes it shimmer, shows a hidden hand making brush strokes across the canvas. It's immersive because it surrounds the viewer, 360 degrees of color and sound and dimension. I really enjoyed it. The digital loop lasts for about 40 minutes and at times the show is calm and contemplative. There are other moments when color explodes on the canvas (i.e. the walls) and the viewer almost feels like stepping back to get out of the way of the brush. I have never seen anything like it but I can imagine this technological technique being used in other art shows or even in presenting art and photographs in a home setting. If you have the chance, check it out. It runs in SF until September.
