The Starry Night Reimagined in Light
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.
“The drone show moved me to tears.” – Visitor Review (5/5 stars)
