XUNKU Project
Overview
XUNKU is a long-term digital art project initiated by me, which connects digital art, cultural heritage, immersive media and public communication into a scalable method chain. It is not a single film or a single exhibition, but a sustainably generated civilization memory project: Cinema · Exhibition · Station · Research · Brand.
Worldview
"The center of the earth" is not a geographical concept, but a cultural memory space that connects history, reality and the future. "Searching" is not a retrieval of knowledge, but a continuous and in-depth action into history. Grottoes, scriptures, statues and contemporary images meet here to form a depth of civilization that can be re-entered.
Digital cultural heritage research
Method chain: cultural heritage materials → digital collection and archives → appropriate restoration → artistic interpretation → immersive communication → public participation. Research and creation go hand in hand, allowing heritage to be continuously generated in images, spaces and public scenes, rather than remaining in static archives.
