Walking into the Art Center, the first thing that catches your eyes is the spectacular digital giant screen dome walkway space, as if it were a rooftop city stage, with light and shadow intertwined images constantly changing overhead, making it seem as if you are in a dream world. The indoor ramp skillfully connects the functional spaces of different elevations, and the viewing path is like a strand of ribbon dancing between the buildings, leading visitors step by step deeper into the ocean of art.

In this exhibition area of "Prehistoric Rock Painting Interactive Experience" of "Spiritual Realm - Future Inspiration World", modern digital technology is utilized to create the atmosphere of ancient caves. Holding virtual torches, people gently touch the petroglyphs as if traveling back in time to prehistoric times.

Moving on, we came to the mind-blowing exhibition area of "Heart Flow". Created by artist Fei Jun in collaboration with psychologist Liu Zhengkui, the work combines artificial intelligence and emotional computing technology. When people stand in front of the screen, personalized digital images and sound effects are generated on the screen according to their changing emotions. In the process, people not only enjoy the beautiful art images, but also feel like experiencing a spiritual healing journey, helping them to recognize and accept themselves.

Next were the two connected exhibits of Exodus into Painting and Symbiotic Paradise. In the "Exodus into Painting" exhibition area, people can view the combination of Chinese and Western painting elements to build an excellent photo-taking and carding scene, where every angle can be used to take photos full of artistic sense.

Dunhuang Super Universe is another separate exhibition area. First of all, the digital reproduction of cave art here artistically reproduces the process of creating cave art through animation, holographic digital images and high-precision film, showing the details of the inner and outer parts of the caves. People seem to be in the Dunhuang grottoes, enjoying the exquisite mural paintings and solemnity of the sculptures at close range, and feeling the charm of the millennium Dunhuang art.

Secondly, the Dunhuang Painting Institute's 30 years of achievements were on display. In the exhibition area of "Seeming and True", the works copied by the Dunhuang Painting Institute were on display. These works not only show the mastery of the copyists of Dunhuang cave art, but also reflect their pursuit of "truth", allowing people to have a deeper understanding of the inheritance of Dunhuang art.

Once again, visitors can experience the Millennium Dunhuang Concert through full-sensory immersion. Here in the Dunhuang Music and Dance exhibition area, the characters in the frescoes seem to come to life through hologram technology, and accompanied by ancient music, the flying skies dance in the air. The perfect combination of music, images and lights brought a double feast for people's eyes and hearts, making people feel as if they had traveled through the millennium and were in the heyday of Dunhuang.
