Mark Rothko
Houston · 1971

Rothko Chapel

Fourteen dark canvases. A pool of daylight. A room that asks nothing of you except time. Walk slowly, find a place to sit, and let the colors emerge.

WASD / arrows to walk · drag to look
Touch: move on the left · look on the right

An independent interactive study. The architecture is interpretive; the fourteen procedural pigment studies are not scans of the original paintings.

There is no route to complete. Approach the paintings and notice the subtle differences between the dark fields.
