Two Van Gogh exhibits are going head-to-head in New York City — a reflection of a growing trend in immersive art.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ One is called "Immersive Van Gogh," while the other is called "Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ One is in lower Manhattan, while the other is also in lower Manhattan. One features enormous, room-sized, trippy animations of Van Gogh paintings, while the other also features enormous, room-sized, trippy animations of Van Gogh paintings.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But ultimately, the raison d'être of both extravaganzas is the same. It is to submerge yourself in a world of Van Gogh paintings come to life: to watch as the stars of "Starry Night" pinwheel across your field of view, to see the cypress trees sway, to watch the water gently ripple in the "Starry Night Over the Rhône," and the crows fly across the "Wheatfield with Crows" — all blown up to enormous size.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Tap the link in bio to read the full story.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Photos courtesy of Immersive Van Gogh and Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #art #VanGogh #artist #exhibition #NYC #NewYork
