SOKCHO, South Korea – (December 12, 2023) – Christie® is pleased to announce that its high-performance HS Series and Inspire Series 1DLP® laser projectors are illuminating immersive exhibition spaces throughout Museum X, a new interactive museum that combines digital media art and technology.
Located in the northeastern coastal city of Sokcho, South Korea, this breathtaking exhibition venue is known as an “immersive new media playground”. Since its official opening in August, Museum X has emerged as a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Spanning 1,750 square meters (18,836 square feet), the venue is divided into four zones and 16 experiential facilities where visitors can explore bright and colorful exhibits that showcase dynamic themes. Christie’s trusted partner, SNC Alliance, supplied 34 laser projectors including the Christie 4K7-HS, which features 4K UHD resolution, along with Inspire Series DWU760-iS and DWU960-iS models. They were strategically installed across the venue by the local systems integrator, Ten Square.
“To accommodate the diverse spaces, Christie’s HS and Inspire Series projectors are chosen to ensure that visitors can experience the seamless integration of art and technology with unparalleled color reproduction without compromising image quality,” said Dong-Woo Lee, CEO, SNC Alliance. “The 4K7-HS projectors are particularly well-suited for this project, excelling in challenging, space-limited installations. Additionally, the versatile Inspire Series, with IP5X dust-resistant optical engine and whisper-quiet operation, complements the setup. Both projector models offered hassle-free set up and enhanced the art and visual colors of the exhibition with optimal features.”
