What if the painting could change? What if you could touch the painting and explore it interactively? What if the painting engulfed all your senses, creating the illusion that you're in the painting?

The journey of media from print to VR. While it'll certainly take more than 1000 words to program the painting in VR, if a million people see it, the value ratio is pretty good.
