Infinity des Lumières: Dubai's Largest Digital Art Gallery Opens March 2021

Infinity des Lumières, a major digital art gallery, is set to open in early March 2021 at the Dubai Mall. The project is a partnership between InfinityArt and Culturespaces Digital, aiming to offer what is described as the 'best immersive digital experience' for art. The venue will feature 130 projectors, 58 speakers, and 3,000 high-definition moving images, along with the largest digital facade in the Dubai Mall, spanning 200 square meters vertically. The inaugural program includes three exhibitions: a monographic show on Vincent Van Gogh; 'Dreamed Japan,' inspired by 19th-century Japanese art from Hokusai and others; and 'Verse,' a metaphysical journey by Thomas Vanz with music by Jonathan Fitas. Luc Archambeaud, business development head at Culturespaces, called it a 'multisensory journey' for residents and tourists. Catherine Oriol, director of Infinity des Lumières, emphasized the collaboration's goal to create an engaging technological platform. The article also raises a critical question about whether such digital spectacles reduce art to mere entertainment, losing the artists' original intent. Further details on exact opening date, prices, and full program are to be announced on the gallery's website.
