In my wanderings, I came across the Digital Art house.

I couldn’t quite tell what it was, at first glance, and got the impression that maybe it was a museum of digital art? Or that it was a working studio, maybe something akin to Industrial Light and Magic who does special effects for movies? It was interesting and noteworthy enough to stick in my mind, in either way, and so I made a point to include it in my wanderings as a stop for myself.

In the end, I swung by after visiting the post office, and found myself somewhere I hadn’t quite expected. Of all the options, I hadn’t expected “Bar, restaurant, and pseudo movie theater” to be the option… but here I was, sipping a latte and waiting for the current movie to end, and mine to begin.

They didn’t have blockbuster movies, or really even traditional movies, though… instead, this was a whole experience with art. I… can’t really say that I enjoyed it more than just looking at art, but it was definitely a really interesting experience.

In short, there were something like 25 projectors putting up video on every wall, ceiling, and floor around me. I lay out on a comfy beanbag chair, and watched the film play out all around me. Music accompanied it, and… yeah, it was visual and audio. I’d gotten a ticket to the next showing, which happened to be Impressionist Art, and so I was surrounded by Van Gogh and his peers, with the film building each painting up piece by piece around me.

It was… interesting. A fun experience in a fun city.
