By combining sculpture, electronics, and software, artist Neil Mendoza is able to recreate famous paintings with an interesting twist: you can interact with them.
Optimized for short attention spans, it allows viewers to poke, inflate, add water, or even a disco ball to their heart’s content. The interactive work was created for the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh as part of it’s ‘tough art’ residency.
This is a dream come true for kids... and the kids-at-heart who wanted to mess with museum paintings when they were young.
