Multimedia Leonardo merges art and technology - Immerse yourself in the world of genius
Imagine that you are reclining comfortably in a Lazy Bag in a dark room whose walls are lined with "Mona Lisa", "The Last Supper", the sky with a million stars, Vitruvian man, multiplying. Looking at all that and other drawings and inventions of Leonardo da Vinci, you have the feeling that you are immersing yourself in the world of one of the greatest artists of all time.
And this is exactly what the organizers of the multimedia exhibition "Leonardo da Vinci - The Universal Man" (orig. Leonardo da Vinci – Uomo Universale) want you to experience.
Art should not only be seen, but also experienced - that is the starting point of Alegria Exhibition, who, by merging art and the latest technology, create exhibitions with the aim of allowing visitors to enjoy culture in an easy, accessible, inspiring and entertaining way. That`s why these are events that are interesting for children as well, even for those who are not close to museums.
An incredible combination of show and exhibition
By merging art and state-of-the-art technology, the authors want to achieve a sense of immersion. It is an effect in which the visitor is immersed in a multimedia illusion composed of images and sound, experiencing it as absolutely real. Through the 3D mapping and projection system, contents such as graphics, animations, images or videos can be projected onto three-dimensional objects, creating a unique surrounding atmosphere.
The show brings to life Leonardo`s machines, inventions, shows his fantastic studies and drawings, as well as paintings, from the "Mona Lisa" to the "Last Supper". We also take a glance at his notebooks, where he recorded his thoughts, observations and ideas. And he left, according to current research, between 10,000 and 13,000 pages, with approximately 100,000 sketches and drawings.
- But Leonardo has never before been presented so powerfully, with this incredible combination of show and exhibition, - Dr. Kümper said.
Europe`s largest 360° screen
How much technology can really affect the experience of art, could best be seen at the original exhibition in Wuppertal. Leonardo`s works were presented in 18 chapters on Europe`s largest 360° screen, on a 6,500 m² projection surface, even larger than a football field, on a 47 m high screen, on 6 projection surfaces, including floor and ceiling. The exciting world of the genius was brought to life by 33 high-power laser projectors and more than 65 million pixels.
Enjoy in a fraction of the atmosphere.
