This afternoon.

An incredible 360 degrees, completely immersive digital-art experience has just been announced to arrive to the RDS this May.

Celebrating the works of Vincent Van Gogh and bringing them to life in mind-bending ways all around you, this will be one of Dublin’s most exceptional new experiences we can all enjoy.

The event has been masterminded by Dublin based company Theatre of Light and multi-award-winning content powerhouse Nohlab. As part of the experience visitors will also be given the chance to view three award winning existing contemporary pieces of digital artwork, some of which feature in the famous Atelier Des Lumiere in Paris, that will take the visitor beyond Van Gogh, on a journey of the evolution on Art, Science and Light.

Vincent Van Gogh’s painting of his bedroom at 2, Place Lamartine in Arles recreated in loving detail by The Art Institute of Chicago.

The room, in all its haphazard glory is part of a larger exhibition entitled ‘Van Gogh’s Bedrooms’, running at the Institute until May this year.

But that’s not all.

Starting this week, it’s available to rent on Airbnb for $10 a night.

Vincent by Dutch artist and writer Barbara Stok is a 144 page graphic novel that seeks to shed light (via a series of letters between the artist and his brother Theo), on Van Gogh’s brief but intense years in the south of France.

Vincent dreams of setting up an artists’ house in Arles for himself and his friends. However, his attacks of mental illness confuse and disorient him, culminating in the notorious incident with his ear and leaving his dreams shattered.
