The Mona Lisa in 3-D – She really was rather cute
This is the new Samsung video for their upcoming 3D television sets, and instead of showing Hollywood Blockbusters, they decided on going with old classic works such as Mona Lisa, the Girl with a Pearl Earring, the Vitruvian Man and a few more.
Basically, they present these artworks from different angles and provide some depth, but then they do actually add some action when combining items from today’s films into the old works.
Well, some would love such ideas, which will actually display the old favorite paintings in a new way, yet others would scream blasphemy for changing and modernizing them. Whichever side you are on, you cannot deny that Samsung is really trying to show the possibilities of their 3D televisions, and have implemented a creative view. Well, maybe thanks to 3D, one of the oldest art questions ever could be answered: what is up with Mona Lisa’s smile?

That 3D video was pretty cool! Mona Lisa was cute she looks pretty young too. How old was she anyway?

Too late, you missed it, now it’s 4-D.
Wow, who knew Manet liked boobies THAT much?
Well he was Manet and not Womanet?
It is amazing…
the actual painting of the Mona Lisa is set back behind a glass booth that goes dark almost every few minutes and stays dark because of the Japanese tourons that keep using flash photo lights on it when it only triggers this darkness. My sister actually screamed at a few of them to make them run off so she might get a real glimpse of the painting. It’s tiny you know… little over a foot high and not that wide… hard to look at it standing in front of it in the Louve.
I’ve seen it too Gwen, took me about 30 minutes to get as close as they would let me get.
I liked this, really great! Simply Amazing!
Isn’t (some) technology wonderful.
Agreed. More than marginal, like the technology used in the movie Avatar, really entertaining.
I am sick of the planned obsolescence that companies build into their products so people will embrace and pay for only marginally new technologies and features. But this seems like a true advance- very cool!
