ARTitoriumhas opened its doors in a renovated movie theater in Idaho Falls. It's a unique facility that combines art and technology to create an interactive space that is perfect for children of all ages. Protozone has developed sixteen art-making programs installed on large touch screens and touch work stations throughout the ARTitorium galleries.
ActionBrushster, KaleidoYou and Flow greet visitors as they enter, encouraging them to produce dynamic abstractions with intuitive interfaces using ordinary brushes and/or fingertips. Even toddlers produce striking results.
