Step into a time machine—no DeLorean required! A groundbreaking digital art exhibition in Nanjing is blending centuries-old history with futuristic tech, transforming a Qing Dynasty masterpiece into an immersive 'time travel' experience.
At the DEJI Art Museum, Feng Ning's iconic painting An Era in Jinling has been reimagined on a jaw-dropping 110-meter screen. Using AI-powered projections, visitors wander through dynamic scenes of ancient Jinling (today's Nanjing), witnessing bustling markets, serene rivers, and architectural marvels from the city's golden age.
"It's like living inside history," said one attendee. The installation’s interactive tech lets users 'touch' floating calligraphy or 'follow' digital lanterns—perfect for Gen Z travelers and history buffs craving a TikTok-ready adventure.
Running until late 2024, this exhibit isn’t just art—it’s a bridge between eras. Who knew 18th-century landscapes could vibe with元宇宙 (metaverse) energy?
