THE MAP
At 5,000 square feet and with a 40-foot ceiling height, The Map uses seamless 16k laser projection as a light source. With twenty-six projectors, and our revolutionary Holoplot sound system, The Map equals to twenty-six surround-sound theaters in 360. The directional sound of the Holoplot system precisely shapes and steers sound beams into two dimensions, localizing sound into sound fields. As viewers move throughout the space sounds change around them.

“THE PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE”
A living, cinematic exploration of art history, this work transforms iconic masterpieces into dynamic, ever-shifting environments. From Monet’s landscapes, Hokusai, visions of the future, and more. As each piece evolves, blending past and future in a continuous, dreamlike flow. This work invites the viewer to step into the evolving narrative of art, where time is fluid and boundaries between eras dissolve. It is a meditation on the ever-changing nature of creativity, where history and imagination converge in an ongoing dialogue.
