MoMA - The Museum of Modern Art of New York (facebook page). "Imagine being Vincent Van Gogh. Imagine giving form to 'Starry Night' with your hands. Playing the artist instead of the observer is now possible. As the viewer drags his finger across the painting, the dashed oil lines react, creating a river-like effect of blues and golds over the night sky. With each brushstroke movement, a soft note of ambient music rings out as well. The work that went into creating such an elaborate piece of art is impressive. Vrellis took a piece with a seemingly unsurpassable amount of artistic merit, and breathed new life into it." Huffington Post.
