Introduction

Wandering-Digital Art in Historical Spacetime

On the shore of the Xiangjiang River, the dream of eternal life unfolds. Bronze Ding with inscription “Dahe” and the splendid Chinese silk and brocade were discovered here.

When Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tombs, Shang and Zhou bronzes, digital art and virtual world "collide", national treasures exhibit in an awesome way.

The exhibition, "Wandering-Digital Art in Historical Spacetime", is an interdisciplinary and cross-media experiment of historical archaeology and digital art, starting from the ideas, concepts and methods of global digital art. It is also an academic, public, local and international project in the field of technology and art . The exhibition combines Hunan's history and the national treasures of the Hunan Museum, conducting a profound conversation and interpretation with digital art. From the ancient beliefs of the immortals to today's cross-temporal collision of the meta-verse, it is the interplay between ancient and modern civilizations, a cross-border interaction between modern and contemporary art and China's excellent traditional culture, and a tribute of modern technology to the great classical civilization.

As the first international digital art exhibition held in Hunan, it covers the exhibited works of the most important global exhibitions such as Documenta, Venice Biennale and the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria. This is not only an important event for digital art display, education and research in China, but also an important summit for global digital art exchange.
