4th century Chinese myths brought to life with art and AI
An immersive art exhibition on "Shanhaijing," or "Classic of Mountains and Seas," is going on in Minhang District. The exhibition takes people on a magical journey into the fantasy world of the 4th century Chinese text, browsing the pages in an innovative way.
The exhibition "Ancient Chinese Mythology" covers over 2,000 square meters, comprising 10 themed areas at the The Hub shopping mall. It features over 100 art installations with a combination of paintings and sculptures, revealing the unique charm of the Chinese mythology collection. Using light and shadow shows, it replicates scenes from the myths in a classic and vivid way.
With digital technology like AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content), it restores the skeleton of fantastic creatures depicted in the classic text, and presents artistic versions using stone sculptures, oil paintings, animation and art installations.
It even introduces punk and multimedia to create a fantasy world with interactive experiences, bringing fantastic creatures from the book to life.
