DALLAS — "A secret location to be announced" will soon host Immersive Van Gogh, opening Thursday, June 17th.

The digital art exhibit merges state-of-the-art technology, theatrical storytelling, and world-class animation and provides guests an opportunity to "step inside" and experience the post-Impressionistic works of Van Gogh through some 60,600 frames of video, 90,000,000 pixels, and 500,000+ cubic feet of projections.

Such works as "Starry Night" and "Sunflowers" are presented as the artist first saw the scenes, then dramatized through light, music, movement and imagination. The hour-long walk-through exhibition (observing local health protocols) also contains original music to set the mood from Italian multimedia composer Luca Longobardi and art direction by Vittorio Guidotti.

So far, after runs in Toronto, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, more than half a million tickets have been sold to the exhibit.
