KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 (Bernama) -- The Hunan Museum, together with the Digital Library of China and the team of Wang Yuejin, professor at CAMLab, Harvard University, recently launched "The Art of Life - Mawangdui Han Dynasty Culture Immersive Digital Exhibition".
According to a statement, the exhibition is in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the archaeological excavation of the Han Tombs at Mawangdui, which remains open to the public until Feb 16, 2025, with plans for a worldwide tour.
Intended to explore ways to advance the deep integration of culture and technology, the exhibition mobilises academic resources worldwide and employs cutting-edge multimedia technology to present the cultural heritage of the Han Tombs in digitalised form through a theatrical multimedia experience, offering a glance into the essence of early Chinese civilisation and artistic achievements.
The exhibition delivers a holistic display of the art, imagination, and world view as reflected by the culture of Han Tombs and seeks to create a new paradigm for digital presentation of cultural heritage with global influence.
Structured around three modules, namely "Time and Space", "Yin and Yang", and "Life", it embarks the visitors on a "journey through space and time", by revealing the dynamic process of "cosmic operations - the sublimation of life"; displaying the chamber structure, numerous artefacts, cultural ideas and humanistic thoughts of the Han Tombs; as well as unfolding the grand imagination and artistic expression of the universe and life by ancient Chinese.
The exhibition also delivers a multisensory experience to the visitors. In the "Yin and Yang" section, the four life spaces contained in the four-outer-layer coffins of Tomb One allow visitors to marvel at the ancient Chinese people's endless exploration of the mystery of life and their profound imagination for spiritual sublimation.
In the "Life" section, the T-shaped silk paintings relive their "glorious moments", via the immersive LED ball screen, interactive dynamic graphic design, and digital restoration of cultural relics, among other technologies, visitors feel as if they were attending the "from earth to heaven" ceremony depicted in the silk paintings.
While allowing the visitors to experience the transformation and ascension of life, the section also offers a glimpse into the thoughts and emotions of the Chinese ancients 2,000 years ago.
