A digital museum boasting a splendid combination of advanced technology with art and nature has wowed visitors with immersive cultural experiences in Chengdu City, southwest China's Sichuan Province.
Waterfalls, romantic thunder, beach, stars, forests and flowers are presented through digital media technology in the Arte Museum Chengdu, where visitors can get the chance to immerse themselves in some extremely shocking visuals and sound effects, with a touch of elegance.
With thousands of tons of water pouring down, the giant digital artwork titled "Waterfall Infinite" crosses the boundary between reality and the virtual world, allowing people to let loose their imagination.
Other dazzling light and shadow exhibitions also showcase the creativity of digital media art while allowing visitors to feel the power of nature -- the roaring waves symbolize the challenges and innovations of digitization, the sea of flowers represents harmony and the universe, and the vast display of paper art makes visitors feel as if they are walking through a drizzle.
An exhibition section called "Colorful China" interprets traditional Chinese culture through digital art, from Chinese bamboo forests to beautiful poems. It's just like walking through a world of changing light and shadows.
"Walking into each exhibition area, you experience a different effect of fragrance, and the surrounding sound creates an audio-visual effect. This immerses you in the scene," said Luo Ning, a visitor at the museum.
"The atmosphere is really good, it feels like you are actually there. It's not just an art gallery, it feels like a palace. The sense of immersion is really great," said another visitor.
The stunning artwork is created by the world-renowned digital design company, D'strict. The series, named "Eternal Nature," involves the company designing immersive digital artworks by combining natural and cultural heritage from different exhibiting regions from around the world.
The series "Eternal Nature" has been exhibited in eight venues in major cities across the world, bringing a unique experience to more than 7 million people so far.
