SHANGHAI – Christie^® GS Series 1DLP laser projectors captivated visitors with bright and colorful visuals depicting electric arc currents at a recent exhibition in the Shanghai Powerlong Museum, a non-profit private institution dedicated to fostering cultural exchange and communication. 

Titled Dreamscape: An Interactive Tech-Art Exhibition, the 11-week event transported visitors into a multiverse of wonders and fantasies through a unique situational interactive experience. Taking two years to complete, the exhibition featured two main areas and seven themed spaces that seamlessly blended cutting-edge technology with original art and visual design. In Hall 1, visitors encountered a groundbreaking interactive installation named Shocking Thunder. Standing at over 10 meters (33 feet) in height, this awe-inspiring installation combined compelling visual and sound effects, with a stunning display of real electric currents released from a stainless-steel mirror.

At the heart of this mesmerizing experience was seven Christie DWU1075-GS laser projectors, installed by Christie’s trusted partner, Shanghai Qingying Digital Technology. These projectors created dynamic floor projections that reacted to visitor movements, displaying intricate electric arc patterns on the ground when visitors stepped on designated spots equipped with motion-sensing devices. 

“The deployment of Christie GS Series laser projectors at the ‘Shocking Thunder’ exhibition area had been pivotal in delivering an immersive and interactive experience for visitors,” says Yueyi Wu, general manager, Shanghai Qingying Digital Technology. “These projectors’ superior brightness, advanced color reproduction, and reliable 24/7 operation enabled us to create striking visuals that mesmerized and engaged audiences. We’re proud to leverage Christie’s cutting-edge technology to push the boundaries of what’s possible in interactive exhibitions.” 

April Qin, senior sales director for China, Enterprise, Christie, added, “We’re delighted that our GS Series laser projectors played a key role in creating an unforgettable experience for visitors at the ‘Dreamscape’ exhibition. The ‘Shocking Thunder’ installation showcased how our advanced projection technology can bring art and technology together, delighting visitors and setting new standards for immersive exhibitions.”   

With its impressive 10,875 lumens and WUXGA resolution, the DWU1075-GS offers life-like visuals with advanced color reproduction. The projector’s laser illumination, combined with Christie BoldColor Technology, creates the color balance needed to accurately reproduce colorful images, without sacrificing brightness. Additionally, Christie RealBlack™ technology produces the deepest possible blacks by completely turning off the laser light when displaying black scenes, enhancing the overall visual experience. 

Designed for reliability and versatility, GS Series laser projectors feature a small footprint, light weight, quiet operation, and a full suite of lenses, making them ideal for boardrooms, education, and places of worship. Their 24/7 operation durability ensures they can handle the demands of high-usage environments, such as museums and theme parks. 

Dreamscape: An Interactive Tech-Art Exhibition ran through October 20 at the Shanghai Powerlong Museum in Qibao, a township in the Minhang District of Shanghai. It offered visitors a unique opportunity to experience the fusion of art and technology in a multiverse of wonders.
