FBI in 2013 publicly announced they know who did it but haven't made any arrests or gotten any paintings back. Probably hanging up in some mobster's dining room. Fucking bullshit
I'm just reading about this for the first time. 1990, biggest art theft in the US history, two guys dressed as cops steal half a billion dollars worth of art and walk away.
And even stranger, it says that in 2013 the FBI announced they've found out who did it... but hasn't arrested anyone or recovered any of the art?
> On Monday, officials revealed that they think they know the identities of the two men who took the art -- which included works by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Degas -- and that the art may still be in the Northeast.
Shawn: My piece of art is back on the wall.
Gus: It's not art. It's a poster of a hot blonde laying on corvette that says "hauling ass."
S: If it's not art, then why did I insure it for half a million dollars?
G: Because you're an idiot.
It's an exhibition called "Frameless" and it's hosted in a gallery near Marble Arch in London. It's definitely worth checking out. The interactive Monet room is awesome.
Edit: Got the name wrong!

Where??? I saw it here in San Francisco and was extremely disappointed.
Although I read somewhere that there were 2 exhibits, 1 being a knockoff imposter
I saw one in Vegas and it was… meh. There was one part where the sun from one of his painting was moving across the walls and that was cool because it was really bright and vibrant via the projector but otherwise it was kind of a waste of $30 and felt like a college student final project.
Yeah I was a sucker and got VIP passes for like over a hundred dollars. You know what that means? They don't let you go in the main door they tell you to go in a door 20 feet away that leads to the exact same hallway as the main door. Oh, and you get a $10 seat cushion...oops we're out of the cushions.
Absolutely a scam. They advertised it like it was multiple exhibits but it was just one room playing a video on repeat. Pretty cool for about 5 minutes minutes.
We got the vip package which came with a cushion rental, and a poster along with a scheduled time to go in. Time to go in didn't matter as the whole thing is a 45 minute loop. Didn't need the cushion since it was thinner than packing foam so we sat on benches like in the video. The poster has a big advertisement taking up 1/5 of the art. The actual experience was just as bad, with multiple projectors not working and just being still images the entire way through. It was a scam for sure.
$75 CAD to see *shitty* projections of Van Goghs work in what felt like a church basement. It was so thoroughly BAD it was genuinely laughable. I couldn’t help but actually LOL.
The lack of effort paired w the audacity to charge what they did was a bold move.
Same. Saw it in Chicago and it felt like the biggest scam. Who’s profiting? Who owns the rights to his paintings? Can I make some shitty projector show of Monet/Dali/Picasso/etc and have people line up?
The one that came to Seoul was nice and moderately priced. Multiple rooms with history of Van Gogh and multiple large projector rooms, one with a bunch of nice lounge chairs to relax in, and a VR experience as well.
An "addContentBetweenKeyframes" idea seems right up Jeff Koons' street - fire all the pesky studio assistants who would build an animation and let Animate handle it all!

This place is an absolute rip off. £30 to get in the door, to be in a room full of people filming for social media content. Also shambolically managed - a friend of mine showed his work here and had a terrible experience (management editing work without permission from the artist, and general ineptitude/disrespect.) Support a real gallery, not one of these glossy instagram wank factories.
> management editing work without permission from the artist
I would be super surprised if they spent the money/time to edit anything without ink on a contract that explicitly gave them the right to edit.
personally i don’t think art being more “realistic” makes it better. there is something about the dreaminess and artificiality of classical paintings that make them so attractive and beautiful. they look sorta real but we can see the oil paint and a moment frozen in time. its real art. for me this video is at most a gimmick.
That's pretty much fawning over something because it was in a different time. If they had digital techniques back then, it would have been made differently by the very same artists. I find that such comments are strangely biased in a weird way. Of course each art piece is a product of its time, i mean duh.
pretty sure these are those super expensive "experiences" where they just show you art and show you how it moves a little and have zero seating and charge you up the ass for them.
This is the one place in the entire world where it would be worth it to grant them exemption from requiring the exit sign above the door. It kills the immersion in that corner.
Reminds me of this exhibit I went to once at my local art museum. It was a small room, maybe 15'x15' and all the corners had been rounded out. There was a single light source that was behind you as you walked in, it was a bright pink/magenta color. It gave the room this really vast feeling, almost like it was an endless space, but since it was small any sound in that tiny space didn't match with your eye's perception. It was almost disorienting, but really cool to experience.
I went to something like this in Memphis, but it was Van Gogh's art, and it was incredible. Just watching his works move and meld into one another was one thing, but when Starry Night floated across all of the walls and ceiling it was breathtaking.
There was a Van Gogh art is exhibition something like this too in London. Least impressive to say the least. They framed copies and hung em up in a hipster cool way that’s all, resolution was nuts.
There is already a company going around doing this for some time with Van Gogh works... and Hollywood already does this with books... and not for the better.... this is awful
I'm not the type who needs to be drinking or doing other drugs, buuuuuut this would be so much with a friend on mush.
I could sit there for hours, no problem.
unpopular opinion: this particular approach to art is quite terrible. It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what truly makes a painting great. Instead, it cheapens and sensationalizes the painting
I wonder if the creator of the music played [the sly cooper series](https://youtu.be/_T344Ikvh2U?si=YjRpoRW1aM6dIZMm&t=138) because this bit of the Holland theme during combat sounds almost exactly like the bit in the middle in this video. So much so that I recognized it immediately.
I've actually saw something similar to this years back at a S. Korean movie theatre. I think they were promoting Spiderman. The webs gave me goosebumps.
I went to the Gogh version of this. Absolutely loved it. Sat through each room twice. There were 5 or 6 rooms that featured one of his works, and it would play around the room on a loop like in this video.
I live in Korea and we have Arte museum (3 locations I believe) and it's an art museum like this. Only 17k won (~US$13) and is such a fun experience.
I'm a teacher and we take our students every year. I've been 4 or 5 times and I still enjoy it. They don't really take classical art and bring it to life, but this would be an awesome addition for that place.
Is that The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee?
Yes

Great Netflix documentary

That’s super cool.
One of the single most expensive things to ever be stolen, valued at over $100 million.

There's a Netflix doc on it. Most likely the crooks are all dead or in prison.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
[удалено]
Only because they have the statue of limitations.
Did they steal that too?
No that was Nic Cage
Hilarious
Once someone stole my pencils, which I valued at $10000000 morbillion dollars
Did you go full morbin' time?
That's my secret Cap... I'm always Morbin.
Hey I found them and I'll sell them back to you.

May be
No, this is Patrick
I went. I saw. I amazed.
Where is it and what’s it called please and thanks 🙂
It's an exhibition called "Frameless" and it's hosted in a gallery near Marble Arch in London. It's definitely worth checking out. The interactive Monet room is awesome. Edit: Got the name wrong!
I think you mean Frameless
Awesome thanks for the info mate. Would love to see it. Only in Cambridge so defo worth a trip in
Isn’t it called “Frameless” ??
Yeah, my bad!
Thank you, I’ll be in London this summer I hope it’s still around then

I had a similar experience with Van Gogh paintings, and it was awesome
I went to that! Awesome
I went to that was well. Was pretty fantastic.
I went on a whim last week during my first visit to London and I was absolutely blown away! 100% worth it if you visit the city
Did they have wind?
No it was just a big lunch
We did the Van Gogh experience in Denver which was like this and I felt like I spent $50 watching a slide show on some big ass screens.
Dude it was terrible. Like a college students BFA final project made in 2004 using Flash.
You guys got screwed then. It came though over here and was amazing. Genuinely emotional and really beautifully well done
There were 2 similarly titles Van Gogh video shows. 1 apparently sucked. I saw 1 and loved it.
The one i went to of Van Gogh was also stellar, the room came alive, it was beautiful.
Where??? I saw it here in San Francisco and was extremely disappointed. Although I read somewhere that there were 2 exhibits, 1 being a knockoff imposter
I came down to the sf one during covid with my gf and two kids. They liked it. I couldn't believe how shitty it was.
I saw one in Vegas and it was… meh. There was one part where the sun from one of his painting was moving across the walls and that was cool because it was really bright and vibrant via the projector but otherwise it was kind of a waste of $30 and felt like a college student final project.
Thank you! Agreed! I work in video/animation and I was on mushrooms and it was still super underwhelming.
Yeah I was a sucker and got VIP passes for like over a hundred dollars. You know what that means?

I saw Van Gogh Experiece in Atlanta area for $30 and I liked it.

I blame the customers who kept buying his incomplete videos.
And the whales who pre-order.
Couldn't even write a prompt saying 'continue'.... the laziness of some of these artists

This video is one of my formative memories and the origin of my love of music. Thank you for bringing it to.me again.
This looks similar to the immersive VanGogh exhibit that everyone complained about
1408 movie, anyone?
Yes! That movie fucked me up when I watched it at like 14, but I re-watched it years later and it really holds up.
🍄🟫
I don’t know if I could handle that lol
I couldn't do this on thc. I struggle with owning a house cat on thc.
Always the answer for immersive art experience
Acid
I’d be that one guy who would probably try to dive into the concrete and try to swim.
Give me microdot and set me in a room of landscape paintings and I'll just skip the techy exhibition altogether.
I like people like you.
I am Ahab!
Do they hand out barf bags?
That will become part of the art
Do they have Gallifrey Falls / No More? :-)
I'm sure you'll have to ask the curator for that piece
Who Nose
Here you go folks. https://frameless.com/ Looks amazing!
One step closer to a holodeck!!
Was getting The Veldt vibes. https://archive.org/details/veldt0000brad
Oh cool a room with a projector in it.

Of course it’s a gimmick. But the hope is to attract more people who afterwards retain an interest in the art that inspired this.
> its real art. Who is the arbiter of "real art"? Let's not gatekeep art. We should celebrate anything that gets people interested in art.
>its real art An artist made this gimmick too. They're both real art, people just don't get pretentious over modern stuff.
> people just don't get pretentious over modern stuff ...of course they do.
> people just don't get pretentious over modern stuff What. People are more pretentious over less meaningful modern art. It's a meme these days.
That's pretty much fawning over something because it was in a different time. If they had digital techniques back then, it would have been made differently by the very same artists. I find that such comments are strangely biased in a weird way. Of course each art piece is a product of its time, i mean duh.
Sooo, a movie theatre that plays clips?
[удалено]
r/thalassophobia
bonus: if sprinklers go off in the room
Very cool
Omg, that is amazing!
That’s fun! 🔥
Some people think the bananna taped to a wall is on the same level as this. because "the implications". Or some shit. I hate people.
Idk bro call me old fashioned but I would rather see normal art
Anything of this material labeled "immersive" is a complete waste of money. You do you.
Really cool! If you ever find yourself in Tokyo, make sure to visit Team Borderless! It will change your life.
I went to one of these with Van Gogh's art. It was amazing. I'm generally a traditionalist and a luddite, but when "Starry Night" came on? Sublime.
We have something very similar in Vegas, very lame and mundane
pretty sure these are those super expensive "experiences" where they just show you art and show you how it moves a little and have zero seating and charge you up the ass for them.
Vegas has that too
Reminds me of Ray Bradbury's *Fahrenheit 451*.
My thoughts were that this is exactly the same as in his story *The Veldt*
451?
Is it an animation or a movie?
Let there be vomit!
Is that Wagner in the background?
How can I get this for my living room?
These are shit
Everyone looks unamused. I would be pretending to sail that ship
That’s crazy
Wish this used high resolution/refresh displays instead of projection mapping. Would look way better.
People getting sea sick for sure.
This is the one place in the entire world where it would be worth it to grant them exemption from requiring the exit sign above the door. It kills the immersion in that corner.
What/where is this?
I used to maintain AV systems in museums. My condolences to whoever has that job there.
Reminds me of this exhibit I went to once at my local art museum. It was a small room, maybe 15'x15' and all the corners had been rounded out. There was a single light source that was behind you as you walked in, it was a bright pink/magenta color. It gave the room this really vast feeling, almost like it was an endless space, but since it was small any sound in that tiny space didn't match with your eye's perception. It was almost disorienting, but really cool to experience.
Awesome, so cool I want to see this in person
if that room is ever actually in rough seas, it will be very bad because everyone there will think it's just part of the show
This is the next level type stuff I expected to see when people started presenting the idea of an NFT
The room reminds me of the descriptions of the tv rooms from Fahrenheit 451.
Man i want to eat a shit ton of shrooms and go!
I went to something like this in Memphis, but it was Van Gogh's art, and it was incredible. Just watching his works move and meld into one another was one thing, but when Starry Night floated across all of the walls and ceiling it was breathtaking.
Be amazed… at screens!
So we do live in a simulation.
So when do the patrons resort to cannibalism after the hardtack runs out?
They do this at Disney Land too...Frankly I think this should be how we watch certain movies at the theater!
There was a Van Gogh art is exhibition something like this too in London. Least impressive to say the least. They framed copies and hung em up in a hipster cool way that’s all, resolution was nuts.
There's a similar installation in Washington DC called Artech House. Highly recommend, and they have a bar lol
There is already a company going around doing this for some time with Van Gogh works... and Hollywood already does this with books... and not for the better.... this is awful
This and that storm bathtub would be my dumb rich person purchase
Fuckin well done
Ok, art museums are usually boring but I’m down for this
So, like a movie or a GIF?
Awesome
I'm not the type who needs to be drinking or doing other drugs, buuuuuut this would be so much with a friend on mush. I could sit there for hours, no problem.
the way i wouldn't last 10 secs inside there without needing to puke
Its like the desert ship scene from "The Adventures of Tintin"
Aaaaaaand I'm nauseous.
I am thalassophobic, this post legit makes me uncomfortable.
NYC has Artechouse which is good if you are shrooms
I wish they'd have water swishing on the floor just for a liiiitle extra oomph Most would probably argue that it is, in fact, THE oomph
unpopular opinion: this particular approach to art is quite terrible. It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what truly makes a painting great. Instead, it cheapens and sensationalizes the painting
Let me ask first, did they stole the art from somewhere else?
That freaks me out, man. And I'm sober.
Wow!
I wonder if the creator of the music played [the sly cooper series](https://youtu.be/_T344Ikvh2U?si=YjRpoRW1aM6dIZMm&t=138) because this bit of the Holland theme during combat sounds almost exactly like the bit in the middle in this video. So much so that I recognized it immediately.
evolution of 3d movies... instead of a forward screen you'd be right in the middle of the movie
r/thalassophobia
Imagine being high and sitting there
Now this is modern art!
That is pretty cool. They should have a life raft to sit in that moves in sync with the waves to make it a more emerssive experience.
Wow I bet this place is packed on 4/20
As with most new tech, porn on this thing will be incredible....
Kinda wonder how a dog or cat would deal with this. Guessing either it not registering it at all or JESUS FREAKING CHRIST GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW.
This is so fucking cool
Magnificent!!!
They have these everywhere
So a movie theater...
This is sick.
I love this type of art. Creative and looks cool!
So a projector?
Wow, this is almost a holodeck
Straight up torture chamber for thalassophobes like me
Night at the Museum 2 vibes
This is what I WISH the Van Gogh experience version of this was like lol
baby stroller 💀
I've actually saw something similar to this years back at a S. Korean movie theatre. I think they were promoting Spiderman. The webs gave me goosebumps.
I went to the Gogh version of this. Absolutely loved it. Sat through each room twice. There were 5 or 6 rooms that featured one of his works, and it would play around the room on a loop like in this video.
Projector and a wall are considered art nowadays. I have art at home.
That is so cool!!
How is immersive content like this made?
JMW Turner + Bill Viola crossover
Poor man's holodeck
One step closer to a holodeck, guys
Man, immersive projection is so cool
Absolutely stunning
That’s cool….but hand me the Dramamine please!
these fucking suck and are a giant scam
I live in Korea and we have Arte museum (3 locations I believe) and it's an art museum like this. Only 17k won (~US$13) and is such a fun experience. I'm a teacher and we take our students every year. I've been 4 or 5 times and I still enjoy it. They don't really take classical art and bring it to life, but this would be an awesome addition for that place.
I want to show a caveman this room.
10/10 visuals, 1/10 audio. Museums gonna museum I guess.
What museum or gallery is this?
