Van Gogh’s Vision, Reimagined in Light

NYC summer nights reimagined—drones, French melodies, glowing installations, and Provençal cocktails in an art experience where masterpieces soar.

For NYBG’s immersive Van Gogh: Starry Nights, we created the headlining finale—the first drone show at a New York cultural institution. As guests explored living recreations of Van Gogh’s masterpieces, 600 synchronized drones painted The Starry Night across the sky above the Mertz Library. This luminous 10-minute spectacle bridged 19th-century artistry with 21st-century wonder, where art didn’t just hang on walls — it soared.
