Dal Getty a casa tua, l'arte arriva sulle tue pareti

 

Porta l'arte a casa tua è la divertente idea che Google Arts & Culture e il Getty Museum di Los Angeles hanno realizzato con una pratica funzione dell' app che il noto sito ha realizzato e messo ora nel suo sito.

Virtualmente è possibile trasferire le stupende opere della nota raccolta d'arte sulle pareti di casa vostra e poterle condividere con i vostri amici.

LOS ANGELES – Create a museum at home using the new video feature on Art Projector, the Google Arts & Culture app’s augmented reality tool. With its newly launched video capabilities, you can project a masterpiece into your room and share your insights into the artwork with friends and family. 

 
It’s easy to use. When you open Art Projector in the Google Arts & Culture app, you will see featured artworks from Getty and other great museums that you can place into your space. Select one of these – or many others with the AR icon in the app. Point your phone camera toward the spot where you want to place the art, and take a video of the space, augmented with a true-to-size classic painting, while you talk about the artwork. Feel free to walk around and zoom in much closer than you could at a museum, making brushstrokes and previously hidden details visible at high resolution.
 
Getty Museum paintings curator Anne Woollett made her own video to show you how it’s done, featuring A Jeu de Paume Before a Country Palace by Adriaen van de Venne (Dutch, 1589 - 1662), projected onto her balcony.
 
“Google’s Art Projector app is the newest way people around the world can bring Getty’s collections into their homes, even if they can’t experience these masterpieces in person,” said Lisa Lapin, vice president for Getty Communications. “We want to do all we can to inspire and uplift people through art, not only now while the physical museum sites remain closed, but in perpetuity for people unable to travel to Los Angeles to see these inspiring works.”
 
"With so many of us spending time at home, we hope using your phone to project a masterpiece on your wall can bring a little beauty, and even better when a world-class expert pops up next to you to tell you what that beauty means," said Simon Delacroix, U.S. lead of Google Arts & Culture. "The Getty Museum was one of our very first partners in 2011, and we’re thrilled to partner with them during quarantine to bring art to people in new ways, first with Art Transfer, and now this."
 

Since 2011, Getty has been a partner to Google Arts & Culture, which puts the stories and knowledge of over 2,000 cultural institutions from 80 countries at users’ fingertips. Getty and Google Arts & Culture previously collaborated on Art Transfer, which turns photos into works of art, and on Getty digital collections including The Art of Three Faiths: Torah, Bible, Qur’an and Eighteenth-Century Pastel Portraits.
