WILSONVILLE, Ore., (Oct. 09, 2009) — InFocus® Corp., the industry pioneer in digital projection technology, today announced that it is a sponsor of the Portland Art Museum’s upcoming exhibition, China Design Now. On view Oct. 10 through Jan. 17, 2010, China Design Now is a multi-sensory experience reflecting the new Chinese urban environment, capturing the scale, speed and energy of change in China today. InFocus projectors loaned to the museum for the exhibition will bring the art of architecture and design in China to life, including an animated fly through of Beijing. “InFocus projection technology is making a difference in the Portland Art Museum’s ability to mount this important international exhibition,” said Brian Ferriso, Portland Art Museum executive director. “InFocus’ high resolution digital projectors enable us to create unique and visually compelling multimedia displays that bring art to life and allow museum visitors to experience history and modern culture in new ways.”
Organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, China Design Now is an international exhibition that reveals how designers, architects, filmmakers and artists have transformed Chinese design. Eleven InFocus projectors are used throughout the exhibit, which leverages sound, video, lanterns, neon and scroll-like text panels to help guide visitors through China’s dynamic culture and urban life.
At the beginning of the China Design Now exhibition is a 180-degree projected, animated fly through of Beijing. Four InFocus projectors are used simultaneously to cast a 56-foot arc that flies visitors from the Forbidden City to modern Beijing.
“InFocus is proud to partner with the Portland Art Museum for this vibrant presentation of development in Chinese design,” said David Woolf, VP of Marketing and Engineering at InFocus. “We’re thrilled to see our projection technology bringing innovation and new depths of experience to art in our local community.”
