Dali's "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate, A Second Before Waking Up" is interactive now. Big advantage of surrealist's pictures: objects depicted do not have to be in the same order every time you try to get into the scene. If you think the same way, this toy is for you: change any object on one of the most famous Dali's work and share it with others. Or just see what others did.

  • Thank you, CTB! Now my students can pretend to be Dali, Mondrian, and Picasso! Anyone know of a Futurist essence of motion generator?
  • Seems as if this might be fun to play with, but I could only get the controls in the left panel to freeze things. Seems only limited interest to be derived from moving objects up, down, or sideways, since I couldn't rotate them or alter their sizes, etc. I'm probably doing it all wrong.
  • Hmmm... Everything works fine for me: rotating, resizing, etc.
  • Mine is 698. Kind of fun, actually. I like a lot of Dali's work, but I would really love to know how he achieved some of those photographs which show everything in mid-flight, including water, fish, women, and even himself. I think he composited several pictures together, but everything looks so seamless and consistent that I'm just blown away.
  • ooga_booga, Are you referring to the symmetrical photos he took in mirrors?
  • Got this to work after restoring system -- some kind of glitch. Thanks, CocaineTeddyBear, it is fun.
