Figueres, October 2009
Commissioned by the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Barcelona Multimedia produced the first art game for iPhone/iPod Touch in Europe, distributed for free in AppStore.
The oil painting which inspired this game is The Persistence of Memory, known as “The Soft Watches”, by Salvador Dalí. It belongs to the MoMA collection and was on temporary loan at the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres from January to March 2009. The game was produced with the assessment of the Centre for Dalinian Studies and the Educational Service of the Dalí Foundation.
