The technological momentum behind the cultural and museum craze

2024-04-08   

During the Qingming Festival, a cultural and museum craze swept across the country, especially with the support of technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence, dormant cultural relics came to life. Immersive exhibition viewing and novel gameplay bring new experiences to tourists. "Ten days before the holiday, the museum tickets have already been reserved, making it difficult to get one ticket." Wang Jiang, the director of the North Qi Mural Museum at the Taiyuan Cultural Relics Protection Research Institute in Shanxi, introduced that the museum integrates cultural relics into a themed environment, empowering cultural relics with interactive experiences to "activate" and create a different visiting experience. At the Northern Qi Mural Museum in Taiyuan, digital technology has endowed millennium old murals with infinite vitality. The reporter saw at the scene that the "couple banquet picture" on the north wall of Xu Xianxiu's tomb has been moved onto the interactive projection wall. On the interactive screen, a pipa suddenly appears, and as long as you pluck the strings, you can play a song together with the musical instrument in the painting. Standing next to the mound of sealed earth, with the help of VR glasses, the audience can "travel" to the ruins of Xu Xianxiu's tomb, showcasing the life of the aristocrats of Northern Qi over 1400 years ago. Wang Jiang introduced that the two-dimensional animation display of the folk customs of Northern Qi used various methods such as laser projection and two-dimensional animation, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in a virtual "real scene". The application of "animation" digital media technology has restored ancient life scenes and created an immersive experience of "people swimming in the painting" through a multi perspective progressive approach. The flourishing development of digital technology is also promoting continuous innovation in the field of cultural and museum. During the Qingming Festival holiday, the Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum experienced a peak in passenger flow, receiving an average of 11000 visitors per day. With the help of technology, the museum has launched a unique research and learning activity called "Dragon Quest in Ancient Tombs", unlocking new cultural and museum gameplay. Tourists can search for the traces of 16 "dragons" during the museum visit based on clues, experience the historical evolution of the "dragon" image, gradually unveil the mysterious veil of ancient tombs, and deeply perceive the vastness and profoundness of ancient tomb culture. After the event, tourist Wang Yuzhu stamped the task book "Dragon Hunting Manual" with the seal of passing the level. This journey of searching for the dragon has given us abundant memories, and this manual is a memoir. The inheritance of culture requires the efforts of every generation, and technological breakthroughs have given infinite possibilities to inheritors and artists. On April 6th, a group of students were experiencing the collision and integration of technology and culture in the museum of Harbin Institute of Technology. A special exhibition titled "Golden Lacquer Inlay Technology Entering Harbin Institute of Technology" is currently being held here. "Taking advantage of the insolubility of paint in water, a mixed colored paint is used to create a composition in water." Xia Lijun, a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage gold paint inlay technique in Heilongjiang Province, took out the water fan and saw a golden paint totem presented in a natural and natural way. Lacquer art, as an important component of China's intangible cultural heritage, has a long history of 8000 years. Xia Lijun's introduction: "This special exhibition showcases lacquer paintings, lacquerware, gourds, cultural and creative accessories, and other lacquer art works. We introduced the origin of Chinese lacquer art, the classification of schools and techniques, and the process flow, allowing everyone to experience the techniques and heritage of lacquer art culture up close." Yang Beining, a student of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department of Harbin Institute of Technology, was deeply moved after watching the exhibition: "The combination of ancient craftsmanship and modern aesthetics has created an unpredictable atmosphere for lacquer art products."
