The immersive Van Gogh experience was first unveiled by Theatre of Light at the RDS in May. The advanced digital art spectacle was highly anticipated since the experience was announced last February. 

According to a press release, “the 20,000 square foot, 360-degree multi-sensory experience surrounds you in Van Gogh’s most famous works. However, it goes far beyond this, as artificial intelligence and advanced digital technologies bring Van Gogh’s masterpieces to life all around you, and even predict how they evolve and transform over time.”

Upon the exhibit’s unveiling, Theatre of Light Co-Founder Daniel Gleeson said:

“Theatre of Light have been working on bringing an immersive art experience to Ireland for three years now, so we are just so excited to finally be opening our doors in the RDS today to the public.”

“We really just can’t wait for art lovers and experience seekers nationwide to finally see this and the almost inconceivably detailed digital art display we have ready for them. We have a huge amount of the world’s most advanced projectors all around this 20,000 square foot space in RDS, so you truly are immersed in this incredible moving and evolving artwork.”

“As much as art lovers will adore this experience, it really is something new, exciting and different to do in Dublin for everyone. From toddlers to grandparents, this is an experience for all ages and interests.”

This Ignite X event is an exclusive opportunity for investors to get together and chat before the hustle and bustle of Dublin Tech Summit (DTS). After the AI-powered experience, members of the business community get the chance to network, identify co-investors and investment opportunities.

This year’s DTS, which will take place on June 15th & 16th, will the be the first in-person edition of the event since 2019. Thousands of attendees will gather to receive talks from some of the world’s most innovative and revered tech experts in a two-day conference.

DTS is Europe’s fastest growing tech conference and this year’s installment at RDS will continue the event’s upwards trajectory.
