“You Know Nothing About Me”: The surrealist Dalí exhibition arrives in Barcelona
Do we really know the whole story of Salvador Dalí, the master of surrealism? The answer is no, and the new exhibition “Dalí Challenge: You Know Nothing About Me” promises to reveal less familiar aspects of this iconic Catalan artist. The show opens on 12 June and will be on display for just four months at the Reial Cercle Artístic in Barcelona. After travelling five continents and proving a huge success in Madrid, the exhibition now arrives in Barcelona, licensed and supervised by the Gala Salvador Dalí Foundation.
A journey through the world of Dalí
The exhibition “Dalí Challenge: You Know Nothing About Me” is produced and promoted by ArtDidaktik and SeedsXR, and covers an area of 500 m2. It features 65 digital replicas of Dalí’s most emblematic works, the originals of which are held in eleven museums and private collections all around the world. The artworks are presented in large-scale and high-resolution format, creating a visual experience which enriches our understanding of Dalí’s art in unexpected ways.
Dalí with a technological twist
What makes this exhibition different from others dedicated to Dalí is its innovative approach and the inclusion of cutting-edge technologies to provide a uniquely immersive experience. Unlike other digital exhibitions of the artist, “Dalí Challenge: You Know Nothing About Me” not only presents digital reproductions of the works, but also offers an educational and all-embracing journey through the life and work of Salvador Dalí.
The exhibition employs a variety of technologies, such as:
- Canvases in light boxes: to illuminate the works in a way which highlights their most intricate details.
- Vinyl transfers and screens: to present the works in thrilling new contexts.
- 3D glasses, augmented reality and virtual reality: allowing visitors to experience Dalí’s works in three dimensions, offering a completely new perspective.
- Micro-mapping: adding a level of interactivity which brings the works to life.
Thanks to these technologies, visitors can enjoy an experience guided by an audio narrative in podcast format, plunging them into a personal and magical exploration of the artistic genius and life of Salvador Dalí, along with his interaction with the 20th-century world. This technological approach transforms the visit into a sensory and all-embracing experience, transporting the audience to the time and the physical world that Dalí inhabited.
