Taking it back to 2018, 3LD Art & Technology Center became the portal for .zip, an immersive new media exhibition that quickly went viral on social media.
Conceived by artist Yuxi Cao (James), .zip was an audiovisual exploration of our reality.
Using an album format, nine distinct audiovisual works were “unzipped” across our massive scale projections. The result was a multi-dimensional journey through time, space, questioning the past and future of humans, the arts and digital experiences.
In his words: “The ‘.zip’ exhibition at 3LD Art & Technology Center was more than just a debut – it was the catalyst. It uncompressed my vision, marking the exact moment I transitioned from a student experimenting with code to a professional artist defining my own visual language. Now, I’m thrilled to invite you to the next chapter of this evolution.”
We still get asked about this one. And for good reason. It redefined what an immersive gallery experience could be.
The best part? We aren’t done yet. 🤫
3LD is currently co-creating an ambitious next step that pushes the boundaries of art and tech even further. Stay tuned. 🚀�
