Christie’s 1DLP laser projectors have transformed three museums in China’s Guangdong province into immersive cultural landmarks.
Blending art, heritage, and technology, the Bai’etan Greater Bay Area Art Center in Guangzhou—home to the Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangdong Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, and Guangdong Literature Museum—is illuminated by 50 Christie DWU880-GS laser projectors and four Christie Captiva DWU500S ultra-short throw laser projectors.
These installations are part of a major engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) lighting project undertaken by Christie’s partner, Jianye Display, which served as the project’s lead contractor, managing every aspect from scheme design and projection layout to installation, calibration, and commissioning of the projection systems.
Dongzai Ye, project manager at Jianye Display, commented: “Christie’s GS Series and Captiva projectors are the ideal choice for the installations in the three museums due to their colour accuracy, installation flexibility, and reliability.”
The installations included setups such as three-fold screens, panoramic five-fold screens, and large curved displays. Spanning a total projection area of 980 square meters (10,549 square feet), the exhibits featured visuals, with the largest single display measuring 7.68 meters (25.2 feet) by 4.8 meters (15.7 feet).
At the Guangdong Museum of Art and Guangdong Literature Museums, Christie DWU880-GS projectors brought visuals to life on large, curved screens, while the Christie DWU500S projectors provided backdrop projections for display cabinets at the Guangdong Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum.
April Qin, senior sales director for China, Enterprise, Christie concluded: “This project reflects how our projection technology can create awe-inspiring cultural experiences. The ability of our solutions to deliver such vivid and stable imagery underlines our commitment to pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling. We are proud to support Jianye Display in delivering a world-class solution that enhances the artistic, cultural, and educational value of these venues.”
