Entering an Eastern subterranean civilization through the cave.
Taking the cave as an entrance and “Eastern Subterranean Civilization” as an original narrative system, XUNKU Art Exhibition translates relationships among civilizational memory, the spirit of image-making, and future digital art into an experience that can be entered. Immersive moving images, digital images, and spatial interaction connect research, artistic creation, and the onsite encounter.
