Christie is pleased to announce that its 1DLP laser projectors are delivering highly immersive visuals in a new digital experience pavilion at the new Beijing Daxing International Airport, the world’s largest single-building airport terminal.
Located on the second level of the sprawling terminal building nicknamed “the Starfish” due to its unique star-shaped design, the “Journey of Light and Shadow” digital experience pavilion provides visitors with an immersive and interactive space to appreciate and experience art through the use of cutting-edge projection, audio, and interactive technologies. The venue consists of a preface hall and main gallery lit by 15 Christie DWU850-GS 1DLP® laser projectors supplied, installed and commissioned by Christie’s longstanding partner, Wincomn Technology.
Themed “The Four Seasons by Masters of Art”, visitors can enjoy stunning digital projections of eight art masterpieces on the walls and floor of the pavilion covering an area of 130 square meters. They include Vincent van Gogh’s “Almond Blossoms”, “Green Wheat Field with Cypress”, “Starry Night”, “Sunflowers”, “The Harvest”, and “Wild Roses”, as well as Oscar-Claude Monet’s “Water Lilies” and “Floes at Bennecourt”, which magnificently highlight nature’s beauty and the ever-changing world around us.
“The ‘Journey of Light and Shadow’ digital experience pavilion is an innovative cultural space that enable visitors to relax and admire world famous art pieces in an unprecedented manner – through highly immersive projections that make them feel as if they’re part of the paintings,” said Mr Tony Chen, general manager, Wincomn Technology. “We are very excited to be involved in this significant project, particularly with the projection design, and have pulled out all the stops to create an awe-inspiring, contemporary digital art gallery using the tried-and-tested Christie GS Series 1DLP laser projectors, which we are very familiar with.”
