Multimedia digital art has become today’s dream factory for artistic creation and leisure, possessing both cultural and commercial value. It has now become the hottest emerging industry of multimedia digital audio-visual light shows. The "Atelier des Lumieres" (Light Studio), which opened in Paris in mid-March this year, is an exhibition space belonging to Culturespaces Company, focusing on the tourism and leisure industry of multimedia digital art shows. The exhibition space covers over 1,500 ping (approximately 4,950 square meters) with a height of 10 meters, using 140 laser projectors and more than 50 large speakers. Projection covers all walls and floors, making it currently the largest multimedia installation space in the world. There are no textual interpretations; like a cinema, there are no seats, allowing visitors to move freely. The performances possess artistic and cultural connotations, immersing the body and mind completely, offering an audio-visual feast.
"Atelier des Lumieres" is dedicated to great painters in art history. The opening featured two representative artists of the late 19th-century Vienna Secession: Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) and Egon Schiele (1890–1918). This was followed by the architect-painter Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928–2000), continuing the spirit of the Vienna Secession. Finally, the contemporary digital art team Ouchhh presented black-and-white imagery, jumping light lines, and rhythmic sound melodies, creating a striking and thought-provoking display. Visitors are immersed in a dynamic world of commemorative exhibitions featuring colorful masterpieces and ever-changing lights, while intoxicated by world-famous melodies from Wagner, Strauss, and Beethoven. It offers an immersive experience. As host Bruno Monnier said: "The exhibition lacks traditional explanatory typology. It allows people to immerse themselves in its time and space, enjoying a unique emotional audio-visual experience."
