Intel Returns ‘Remastered: A Visibly Smart Production’ at the London Design Festival

Intel announced the re-launch of its ‘Remastered: A Visibly Smart Production from Intel’ exhibition at the London Design Festival. During the popular event from September 2225  in Shoreditch, Intel will reinterpret the classic work of Matisse’s ‘Dancers’ in a striking interactive way.

The project first kicked off with a three day long exhibition at London’s One Marylebone in March, where digital interpretations of works by Turner, Dali, Da Vinci and other art genies were showcased.

Intel goes back to its long-time project with jotta, its partner and art and creative community. It will appear at the Tent London showcase offering another opportunity for the public to see masterpieces of the past with modern eyes, using digital technology.

This time, Central St Martins’ conceptual artist Maxence Parache will become the Remastered artist. He will combine 2nd Generation Intel CoreTM processor technology with an interactive particle cloud projection to create something really spectacular.

He commented on the piece: “Sourcing inspiration from Matisse’s hypnotic painting, Dance II, my aim is to invite the viewer to enter an immersive and dreamlike experience where one can interact with the circle of dancers. I have taken influence from Fauvism and have explored this through physical computing, capturing the wild and intense primeval atmosphere of Dance II”.

“Working with some of the best in emerging artistic talent in the UK has been a truly inspirational journey for Intel,” said Gail Hanlon, marketing director, Intel UK and Ireland. “The Remastered project has allowed Intel to unlock the creative potential of technology and show that a mouse can be as effective as a paintbrush in design. We hope our technology can be a muse for the next generation of artists and help shape art in the digital age”.

The presentation of the Matisse’s piece will be followed with a dynamic exhibition at London Design Festival featuring the following works:

Salvador Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory” (1931): Daniel Swan (moving image)
