Keith Lissner is making museum masterpieces move

Keith Lissner is reanimating the ghosts of art history.
The Executive VP of Design at Vera Wang, the wedding dress juggernaut is now moonlighting as an art-tech alchemist.
His latest piece, “My Day at The Musée d’Orsay,” uses AI to breathe actual motion into century-old paintings, making the stuffy and static feel startlingly alive.
A Instagram post by the designer recalls a Walt Disney quote “Imagination has no limits” – and explains a few cameos in the clip by Minnie Mouse.
We’re talking about the Musée d’Orsay’s finest—Manet, Van Gogh, Degas—now blinking, turning, maybe even smirking.
Lissner doesn’t stop there; he’s taken his tech-powered renaissance to the Met in NYC too, turning classical canvas into cinematic scrolls.
