Chapter Event: The Making of Van Gogh's Bedrooms

Van Gogh’s Bedrooms, the landmark exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, features digital and interactive exhibits that challenge visitors to discover an authentic, human side of Van Gogh’s life and work.

Bluecadet’s animators, designers, and developers worked collaboratively with the Art Institute's curatorial, conservation, digital experience teams to create experiences that immerse visitors in Van Gogh’s world – both physical and emotional. Staff of both teams will be giving SEGD an exclusive tour of the exhibit they helped bring to life.

After we experience the exhibition, Michael Neault, the Chicago Institute of Art’s Director of Digital Experience; Josh Goldblum, CEO and Founding Partner of Bluecadet; and Elizabeth Russell, Bluecadet’s producer for the project will give presentations on the collaborative efforts to bring the exhibits to life, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the design process.

See more of the exhibit and interactives on Bluecadet's website.
