After initiatives by museums such as the Met and the Getty Center, art is making yet another incursion into the peaceful world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Art enthusiasts can now experience Chelsea Girls, an experimental film from the 1960s by pop art master Andy Warhol, directly in Nintendo's game phenomenon. An artistic initiative launched in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Museum.

Chelsea Girls is currently streaming on a loop on an in-game island of American writer and producer Jake Fogelnest, who recently announced his exclusive partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation via social networks.

Two 16mm projectors are installed in this virtual cinema, where the millions of players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be able to discover the experimental film that Andy Warhol shot in 1966 with the help of American director Paul Morrissey.
