Imagine Van Gogh: An Enveloping Journey Through Art and Technology at Artipelag
An immersive art experience with Imagine Van Gogh
With his vivid colors and characteristic brushstrokes, Vincent van Gogh invites us into a world of expression and intensity. Imagine Van Gogh at Artipelag in the Stockholm archipelago transforms van Gogh’s iconic works such as Starry Night, Sunflowers and Irises into a grand immersive experience. The exhibition takes advantage of the Artbox’s impressive 12-meter ceiling height and is accompanied by classical music from masters such as Mozart, Bach, Saint-Saëns, Delibes and Satie – all to create an experience that captures and captivates.
Van Gogh: The artist and the pioneer
As one of the most prominent pioneers of Post-Impressionism, van Gogh created over 2 000 works in less than a decade. His unique style is characterized by bold colors, powerful brushstrokes and an expression that moves. From glowing landscapes to vivid portraits and quiet still lifes, Imagine Van Gogh allows visitors to explore his artistic legacy in a way that is both educational and emotionally moving.
A journey through image and sound
The visitor’s journey begins in the educational room, where the story of van Gogh and his unique artistry is told. Here you will learn about his technique and the eras that shaped his art. The tour then moves on to the Artbox, where van Gogh’s art is projected onto the floor, walls and screens to create an immersive experience. With classical music setting the mood, visitors can see, hear and experience art like never before – every angle reveals something new, something deeper.
Technology as an art form
Creating this experience has required technical perfection and a close interaction between artistic expression and technological innovation. Using 50 synchronized projectors, we create a visual symphony where every image is projected with absolute precision. The calibration of color, light and sharpness is the result of meticulous work, where the slightest misstep could disrupt the entire illusion. Behind this precision lies a deep collaboration and understanding of van Gogh’s art, allowing the technology to not only support but enhance the experience.
A new era of art experiences
Imagine Van Gogh is not just an exhibition – it is an immersive journey through art, technology and emotion. Created by Annabelle Mauger and Julien Baron, the pioneers of immersive art experiences, it has toured the world to enchant audiences. With Imagine Van Gogh, we have created a place where art comes alive and technology becomes part of the experience. Here, you don’t just see Van Gogh – you feel him.
Artipelag: Where nature and art meet
In addition to the exhibition, Artipelag offers a unique archipelago environment with art, sculpture and gastronomic experiences. It is a place where art and nature intertwine to create something extraordinary.
Many thanks to Artipelag for entrusting us with the creation of this unforgettable experience.
