Artist's immersive show a digital interpretation of traditional culture

The space is projected with animated images from such masterpieces from centuries back as Donut Peaches and Blue Birds by the 12th-century court painter Li Di, Water Album by Ma Yuan a great painter of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) and Lady Guoguo's Spring Outing by Zhang Xuan living the eighth century.

The show through to May 27 is to enact a lively experience of woyou ("lying down and traveling"), phrased by ancient Chinese to describe the role of landscape paintings to bring the viewers visual and spiritual pleasures, even without journeying around, and to feel about the unity of people and universe. The exhibition is curated by Fan Di'an, dean of CAFA, who said at the exhibition opening that technology has brought to art both opportunities and challenges, and Jin has been at the forefront to create a new realm for digital art and approaches to communicate Chinese art.
