VIEW PDF: REVIEW: BRINGING BOSCH ALIVE THROUGH MULTIMEDIA
It is safe to say that the creators of this exhibition have successfully tapped into a well-received genre, which is also easily seen by the success of similar shows. It is hard to decide if this type of viewing is ultimately able to replace the experience of seeing the actual paintings, or even if it ends up providing something more, whatever that may be. Sincerely I consider that as a non-issue, it is simply a different experience and that is important in itself. It is an entirely new way of viewing art, brought on by the ever-evolving digital means and in this age of democratization of art, it is quite undeniable that this kind of show has the potential to bring Bosch (as well as others) to the attention of a different group of people than the ones who visit museums. And what is more, it can truly influence their perception of art and increase their overall interest for this subject. The educational potential brought on by the digital turn should never be underestimated, perhaps it can even make people want to see and know more about a painter’s life and work. And even without this very optimistic note, I must admit that I do look forward to many more of these reinterpretations, if only for the sheer visual and sensorial pleasure they provide.
