Turkey's first fully comprehensive Digital Experience Center is bringing art lovers the "Van Gogh: In Search of Light," an exhibition that combines the universal legacy of painter Vincent Van Gogh with advanced technology.
Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Culture Inc. is hosting a special exhibition that combines the universal language of art with the transformative power of technology. The digital exhibition, "Van Gogh: In Search of Light," introduces art lovers to the works of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most important painters of the 19th century, through a multi-sensory journey of discovery.
The exhibition, which will be held in the high-tech area of the Digital Experience Center and open to the public on Saturday, August 23rd, reinterprets Van Gogh's world, woven with light, color, and hope, through artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality applications, interactive projections, and site-adapted installations. Comprised of sections such as the Digital Room, Virtual Reality Room, Immersive Experience Room, Augmented Reality Room, and Digital Corridor, the exhibition also offers visitors the opportunity to step into the artist's inner world.
Stages and experience areas placed throughout the space transport the viewer from Van Gogh's beginnings, delving into his subconscious, to his youth, his creative periods chasing the sun, and the endless vistas opening from the window of his hospital room in Saint-Rémy. The warmth of yellow, the vibrancy of nature, and the healing connection established through color even in the darkest moments are brought to life in the space's digital textures and sound design.
VISITORS WILL EMBRACE THE JOURNEY WITH VAN GOGH
IBB Kültür AŞ General Manager Osman Cenk Akın commented on the exhibition, saying, “We are delighted to present the life story and works of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most important figures in world art history, to the public at the Digital Experience Center. The Van Gogh: On the Trail of Light exhibition retells the painter's world, enveloped in light and color, in today's language and with today's technology, offering each of us the opportunity to discover our own inner light.”
