Tim’s Vermeer : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim's_Vermeer

Produced and directed by Penn and Teller who I thought were just magicians. It mixes art and technology with a little bit of historical puzzle solving. As someone who knows little about art history, I found it fascinating.



I second this. The last thing it is really about is painting.

Tim is amazing and the lessons on playful (albeit obsessive) learning are important IMHO


It's good, there's enough science in it for the nerds and enough painting for the Arts majors. I liked especially the part where they wheel in the patio heater into their art studio, turn it on for a few minutes and immediately start feeling a bit weird.


Tim is also a legend in the Amiga and TV/audiovisual community. Just listened to a fascinating interview with him on the Retro Hour podcast. Highly recommend it. I still need to watch Tim's Vermeer.
