360° immersive projections of artworks
Hong Kong, China
February 2023
Step inside the artworks of famous painter Claude Monet thanks to 600m² projection materials and masking fabrics in all the right places.
Immersive projections show off artworks
Be immersed by a famous painter’s artworks and actually step inside his masterpieces. Sounds impossible, right? Well, it’s made possible at the expo “En Voyage with Claude Monet”, where no less than 600m² blackout projection screens and masking textiles lift the art experience to a whole new level. The creative brains behind this expo are companies ChillHoYeah and Dirty Monitor, who put their heads together to bring the artist’s paintings come to life in a way no Hong Kong resident has ever seen before.
And how they succeeded! By cladding the walls of the exhibition hall with 6-meter-high projection screens, they created an extraordinary 360° video mapping feast. The large-scale projection materials vividly depict the video content in high resolution. What a way to immerse your visitors in art!
Made-to-measure masking fabrics
To create the ultimate immersive feel, masking solutions are indispensable. Using projectors to show off digital masterpieces comes with a lot of unwanted cabling that can distract the visitors and undermine their visual experience. That’s why ShowTex provided made-to-measure Molton mounted in custom aluminium frames to mask all hardware. Immersive expo back on track!
