Interactive canvas lets viewers stir Van Gogh

Multimedia artist Petros Vrellis is currently at work on a project that would let viewers stir the skies of one of the Vincent Van Gogh's "The Starry Night."He is basically creating a setup that lets people manipulate the flow of the night skies in the photo. The end result is about 80,000 particles moving around 30 frames per second.

I enjoy art very much and find it fascinating how they are able to combine modern day technology with art to create something so amazing!
