How to leverage cutting-edge technology to highlight your cultural project, without creating a disconnect with your subject?

This is a story about drawing a broad audience to a cultural experience.

 

 

Introductie

An interactive setup to trigger and invite passersby to experience the latest cultural experience.

As a city with a rich history of artists, that is what the Tourism Center of Ostend needed. They expanded their existing City Walks app with new content about a local historic artist, Léon Spilliaert.

They selected our partner Little Harry to create an interactive walk around the city that immerses you in the life of Spilliaert.

As part of the partnership, we took care of all the technical aspects – both software and hardware – to build the interactive setup that triggers visitors with an introduction and draw them into the Tourist Center.

The Living Painting

An AI-powered living painting that transforms visitors into a Spilliaert painting

  • A beautifully presented screen equipped with a webcam
  • A powerful computer processes the video feed and uses our custom-trained neural network to apply a live videofilter and transform the viewers into a living painting in the specific artistic style of Spilliaert

The immersive introduction

  • A human-sized box with a monitor and a holographic 3D representation of Spilliaert and his works.
  • An audio setup that allows the well-known actor Sebastien Dewaele to draw you into the mind of Spilliaert and experience the city through his eyes.
  • Multilingual setup. A visitor can start the experience in their own language by pressing one of the 4 buttons (NL, FR, ENG, DE).
