Robbie Dingo's “Watch the Worlds” and Akira Kurosawa's “Crows” both materialize Van Gogh's paintings to three-dimensional environment by directly exploring Van Gogh's works from within, as if traveling inside the very painting itself. They go inside deep into the ideas behind the paintings and connect two-dimensional aspects of the paint canvas with three-dimensional reality we live in.
Dingo's recreation of Van Gogh's “Starry Night” in Second Life's virtual three-dimensional environment sets an entirely new perspective in Van Gogh's work that would otherwise be completely obscured in two-dimensional space with a scene in which a character can explore freely, going beyond the layers of canvas and bringing a whole new life in painting.
Kurosawa takes a different approach to Van Gogh's works compared to Dingo, going directly inside Van Gogh's works and exploring the ideas behind the paintings. Kurowasa imagines what Van Gogh had in his mind as he painted the pieces and follow the process, transplanting himself upon the two-dimensional plane of Van Gogh's numerous pieces in a dream-like sequence.
