Dataton has supplied its WATCHOUT multimedia content playback solution for a multi-faceted 228 m screen in a new Chinese exhibition titled 'Old Beijing Gets Moving'. Located in the Chinese capital's National Conference Center, 'Old Beijing Gets Moving' takes as its inspiration 'A Glance Round Old Beijing' - a celebrated panorama of the city as it was in the 1930s, originally created as an extended scrolled image by the painter Wang Daguan.
Kenneth Cheung, AudioVisual Technique, local partner, Dataton said, “The theme of the exhibition is 'Watch Old Beijing, Love New Beijing. Many of the buildings represented in Wang Daguan's original painting are long gone, so the idea was to apply new technology in a way that would bring them back to life for today's generation.”
Fredrik Svahnberg, MD, Dataton said, “Our partners in Asia continue to astound us with the scale and ambition of their work and 'Old Beijing Gets Moving' is a perfect example. It is hard to imagine a multimedia installation of this scale being accomplished with anything other than WATCHOUT, and we are delighted to have been the supplier of choice for such a spectacular and historically important project.”
