JULIO LE PARC LAUNCHES VIRTUAL MUSEUM: AN IMMERSIVE CONTEMPORARY ART EXPERIENCE
The Argentine artist has introduced the Julio Le Parc Virtual Labyrinthus Museum, an enveloping digital space that invites the public to explore more than 500 works, including previously unseen pieces created especially for this platform.
More than just a digital gallery, the Julio Le Parc Virtual Museum is an interactive environment that allows visitors to navigate, fly, and dive into a universe of shapes, colors, and movement. This initiative goes beyond mere contemplation: it seeks to generate an active dialogue between the artwork and the viewer, turning each visitor into an explorer in search of visual and sensory treasures.
The virtual museum is structured around multiple spaces that reflect the different creative stages of the artist, from his early works to his most recent explorations of perception. Visitors can explore sensory experience rooms, interact with optical games, enjoy exclusive audiovisual materials, and contemplate monumental dynamic sculptures in an outdoor park designed within the digital environment.
One of the most innovative aspects of this project is the inclusion of audio guides and sound triggers, which activate as the viewer moves through the experience. Additionally, Le Parc has digitally reinterpreted some of his creations, enhancing the user's immersion in the kinetic universe that has defined his work for decades.
Since the 1960s, the idea of the perceptual labyrinth has been a fundamental pillar of the Argentine artist's work. This vision is now brought to life in the virtual museum, where spectators have the opportunity to "lose themselves" in space, challenging traditional notions of time and place. Each visitor becomes an active participant in the artwork, immersing themselves in an experience of weightlessness and color that transforms their perception.
With this launch, Julio Le Parc not only expands the boundaries of contemporary art but also reaffirms his commitment to experimentation and accessibility. His virtual museum does not replace physical exhibitions but rather complements them, offering new ways of exploration and broadening the possibilities of art in the digital era.
"We want to offer visitors, spectators, and wanderers different visual and sensory experiences, different paths, different ways of exploring his works in virtual worlds. Be part of the museum, be part of the future," the artist states in the project's official presentation.
