Ships toss violently upon stormy seas while lights flicker amidst the sound of waves crashing against their hulls. Flowers bloom and burst with color in gardens soundtracked to soothing string instruments. Drinkers and dancers exude the energy and high spirits of Parisian nightlife in the late 19th century to the can-can.All these images, along with a whirlwind tour of theaters, hot air balloon rides, buildings, beaches, forests and villages.
The projections in Immersive Monet comprise 1.2 million frames of video projected across four tall walls—and occasionally the floor—across 500,000 cubic feet.
