Must-see exhibits for National Day holiday
7. Experience digital art at Times Art Museum in Beijing
5G, big data, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, virtual reality, augmented reality. These are all buzzwords in today's high-tech environment.
If you want to experience them all, you don't have to visit a lab; instead, just head to Beijing's Times Art Museum, where you can see a mind-blowing marriage of art and hip, cutting-edge technologies at the newly-opened 2020 Asia Digital Art Exhibition.
The exhibit represents 33 artists from 11 countries and showcases 32 digital artworks, among which 10 are making their world debuts. "Many pieces have responded to the coronavirus pandemic, showing the social responsibility art and culture shoulder," said Wang Chen, academic curator of the show.
Borrowing the idea of World Processor from participating German artist Ingo Gunthe's eponymous piece, the exhibit aims to communicate the message that "in this digital age, everyone is a processor, participating in the building of the world," according to curator Qiu Zhijie, a professor with the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing.
