London (October 13, 2023) - The largest exhibition the Walt Disney Archives has ever created is on view now at the ExCeL London until January 21, 2024, in celebration of the upcoming 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company.
“The Walt Disney Archives spent years planning and curating more than 250 objects to capture the 100 years of storytelling, creativity, and unparalleled magic of The Walt Disney Company. We cannot wait for fans and families to experience this once-in-a-lifetime event celebrating the iconic characters and stories that have captured the hearts of audiences around the globe.” - Becky Cline, Executive Producer of the exhibition and Director of the Walt Disney Archives.
Mickey & Minnie: An Interactive Diptych
The newest feature in the exhibition pays tribute to the enduring love story of Mickey and Minnie through an interactive masterpiece crafted by London-based artist Dominic Harris. Mickey & Minnie: An Interactive Diptych is a heart-warming portrayal of the couples enduring romance. Visitors have the unique opportunity to engage with the iconic duo, as they gracefully transition between screens within the artwork, creating a seamless and enchanting experience at the exhibition.
Dominic Harris is an artist who uses technology to construct highly personal interpretations of the natural phenomena which surround us. His reverence for nature coupled with his fascination for code offers a surreal and whimsical take on reality, which ultimately challenges our own perception of the world around us. His responses, aesthetic yet playful - conceal a carefully observed commentary on the digitisation of our daily experiences, which play upon both our emotions and our relationship with technology-fuelled 21st century pop culture.
