Kingdom of Colors

Another exhibit that I went to while in Washington DC was Kingdom of Colors at Artechouse, an "immersive visual experience" by French filmmaker Thomas Blanchard and artist Oilhack, soundtracked by Lyon-based composer Leonardo Villiger. It's hard to describe the wonder of this exhibit - it was very simple but incredibly powerful. In order to experience the exhibit, we downloaded an iPhone app that made the visuals into virtual reality. For example, the first of the photos below is what one of the walls looked like with my phone and then with the app.

Once we entered the exhibit, there was a bar serving drinks that became virtual reality in the app, and the main room had projections of a video art piece. If you have seen the advertisements for the iPhone X, the video is very similar. In the side rooms, there were other interactive exhibits and activities. 

The Kingdom of Colors exhibit ends tomorrow, but Artechouse has other great exhibits coming soon.
