Interactive canvas livens The Starry Night painting by Van Gogh

Although a far fetched thought, stirring the starry sky with your finger tips or hands could be an exhilarating experience. If not the boundless skies, Petros Vrellis, a Greek artist lets you control Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night through an interactive canvas. The artist has coded an interactive light and sound show that enables one to swipe their hand or finger across it and the mass of night stars will begin to move in one direction. The particles will make music as they move. The Greek multimedia artist, Petros Vrellis has used creative coding to enable users to interact with the template. Vrellis uses OpenFrameworks, which is a development toolkit putting it in the OF Web forum, visualizing the flow and also creating a setup that allows people to manipulate this flow. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?Click here for full story
