::::: REVIEWS :::::
“Very cool! An interactive animation of van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’.”
MoMA – The Museum of Modern Art of New York (facebook page)

“Imagine being Vincent Van Gogh. Imagine giving form to ‘Starry Night’ with your hands. … Playing the artist instead of the observer is now possible. … As the viewer drags his finger across the painting, the dashed oil lines react, creating a river-like effect of blues and golds over the night sky. With each brushstroke movement, a soft note of ambient music rings out as well. The work that went into creating such an elaborate piece of art is impressive. Vrellis took a piece with a seemingly unsurpassable amount of artistic merit, and breathed new life into it.”
Huffington Post

“We find Vrellis’ interactive piece enchanting – and even, given Van Gogh’s tragic story, emotionally powerful.”
C|NET

“Van Gogh’s Starry Night modded into beautiful interactive light and sound show. …This is one of those little projects you wish you could just play with the second you’ve seen it.”
Engadget

“The effect is so beautiful and mesmerising.”
Gizmodo

“Beauty through simplicity at its finest and most playful.”
Creative Applications Network

“A very fascinating version of ‘Starry Night’… The result is stunning!”
Today and tomorrow

Colossal art & design

“The work finds success in subtlety.”
Design.org

“Designer Petros Vrellis adds a whole new dimension with his animated and interactive version of the painting.”
Dutch daily news

“The results, which also have a musical soundtrack, are quite stunning.”
The verge

“This app can function as a lovely example of new possibilities. It’s so impressive, allowing everyone to feel like Van Gogh for a few moments.”
O Globo

“If Vincent had the tools that we have today, this is the work that he would have created.”
skyguide.newsvine.com

“Utterly beautiful to look at and interact with … positively delightful, both peaceful and wondrous with a similarly attractive musical score. … Using a finger to ripple through the artwork is a mesmerising experience. … It makes art accessible for the masses and brings it to life for children.”
148Apps.com

“With hypnotic relaxing visuals and audio, ‘Starry Night’ is our new favorite thing to play with on a rainy Sunday afternoon. … It is hard to describe what a wonderfully immersive experience it is getting hands-on with an art piece like this, you just have to have a go.”

Reviews
“There’s always another app claiming to test your brain. This one delivered!
I am very pleased with it. I’ll be recommending this to all my friends. It’s a great way to get the juices of the mind flowing. I don’t know what the actual standard test consists of, however I can imagine it’s pretty similar to this apps knowledge base! In closing -Sending my thanks to the developers!”

“I can’t believe all these people bragging that they got IQ’s of 135 and 140. The average is 100. Obviously, most of you people are lying. 3% of people have an IQ of 125 and over. 0.39% have an IQ over 140. One things I say, is that, ‘the person who tells everyone how smart they are probably are not.’ My sister is is pretty smart and has an IQ of 128. She’s going to MIT. I think you people bragging about your iq probably aren’t the smartest. If you were really smart, you’d know everyone would just say your lying and not tell everyone your IQ. I think it’s a good, accurate app because my sister took a really long iq test and got the exact same score.”
