ANNOUNCING: SUBMERGE Immersive Multimedia Installation @ Artechouse NYC

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ARTECHOUSE, the nation's first innovative digital art space with multiple locations across the United States including Washington, DC, New York and Miami, opens its 2020 NYC season on February 5 with Submerge, an immersive exploration of color in collaboration with Pantone. The multi-sensory installation curated and produced by ARTECHOUSE's creative team, led by art director Sandro Kereselidze, is an extension of the experience the team developed together with Intus Interactive Design for Pantone's Color of the Year 2020 reveal event in December 2019, which unveiled the Pantone Color of the Year 2020, PANTONE 19-4052, Classic Blue.

The installation will be on view from February 5th to February 23rd inviting visitors to immerse themselves into the world of PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue. The installation opens just in time for New York Fashion Week, and the release from the Pantone Color Institute of the top stand out colors we can expect to see on the runway as fashion designers introduce their new collections for autumn/winter 2020/2021.

"At ARTECHOUSE we try to connect audiences to art in an entirely new way, stimulating minds, emotions, and imagination through multiple touchpoints. Just as musicians use the notes to evoke feelings, we as artists use color to affect the psyche and elicit powerful emotions. Our collaboration with Pantone, offered us an opportunity to utilize our state-of-the-art technology and design tools to push the possibilities and truly submerge people into color, creating an unprecedented multisensory exploration where one would not only visually take in the color but feel it all around them. We are thrilled to bring this exciting installation to a larger audience," -Sandro, ARTECHOUSE founder and Chief Creative Officer.

Imprinted in our psyches as a restful color, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge. Just as the color itself, the installation seeks to do the same, centering our thoughts, aiding concentration and fostering resilience. In a time of global instability, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue conveys qualities of reassurance, highlighting our desire for a stable foundation from which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky at dusk, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue encourages us to look beyond the obvious to expand our thinking; challenging us to think more deeply, increase our perspective, open the flow of communication and connect to other.

"We are living in a time that requires trust and faith. It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can always rely on," said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. "Imbued with a deep resonance, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. We are excited to work with Artechouse to open the experience to consumers to be immersed in the Pantone Color of the Year 2020."

This is the latest in the series of Artechouse collaborations with some of the most innovative artists and partners working at the intersection of art and technology today, which in the past included Refik Anadol, National Cherry Blossom Festival, Rhizomatiks, and more.
