Deep Space Hangzhou

Our partner Ars Electronica Solutions is setting a new accent in the digital art landscape: In October 2024, China’s second Deep Space opened in the “M511” cultural complex in Hangzhou. This immersive projection room provides an exceptional platform for a wide range of artistic and interactive experiences. Garamantis supported the technical planning and commissioning.

Immersive theatre atmosphere

What makes the Hangzhou room so special is its theater-like design. Comfortable theater seats and actors* inside create an intimate and immersive atmosphere. Media art, cultural heritage, and science communication are combined in large-scale projections and interactive applications.
On October 1, 2024, the exclusive immersive concert “A Space Odyssey” will premiere. Another performance, “AI Rhapsody: Together with Stars,” showcased stunning digital artworks from various countries.

New creative center in China

The M511 complex, picturesquely located in the Xi Xi Valley, was formerly the headquarters of the Zhejiang Film Center. In recent years, it has been transformed into a center for digital content and immersive experiences. With three buildings focusing on different creative areas, the Immersive Space is one of the first projects of the new cultural center and combines art and technology in a unique way. It is designed to capture the imagination of visitors and provide them with unforgettable experiences.
