ViewSonic Partners with German A.M. Architekturmuseum Der TUM to Bring an Immersive Architectural Exhibition "Taiwan Acts!" to the World

BREA, Calif., July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, partners with the A.M. Architekturmuseum Der TUM in Germany and Taiwanese curators, Dr. Chen-Yu Chiu and Prof. Chun-Hsiung Wang, to create an immersive exhibition, "Taiwan Acts!", showcasing the diverse Taiwan architectural initiatives and their social influence. This innovative exhibition facilitates cultural exchange and also elevates the exhibit experience by melding the digital and physical with cutting-edge ViewSonic visual solutions.

"Our purpose of conducting this exhibition is to introduce the autonomy of Taiwanese architecture and its dynamic social role to the world community," said Dr. Chen-Yu Chiu, the curator of Taiwan Acts!. "The exhibition focuses on socially engaged architectural projects of humble origins, which sets it apart from other mainstream-oriented architectural exhibitions."

"We always welcome international cooperation," said Dr. Andres Lepik, the Director of A.M. Architekturmuseum Der TUM. "This exhibition is a good opportunity for East-West cultural exchange and interaction, facilitating dialogue between society and architecture, from Taiwan to Germany."

"We are glad to support such a meaningful cultural activity that builds on international collaboration. ViewSonic has been devoted to creating amazing visual experiences in innovative ways and the essence of this exhibition aligns with our goal, "said Dean Tsai, Head of LED Display & Projector BU at ViewSonic. "Through ViewSonic's advanced laser projectors and the latest LED display solution, we bring art and technology together to deliver a new level of immersive visual experience to the exhibition."

The exhibition "Taiwan Acts!" showcases over 100 Taiwanese socially engaged architectural projects in topics ranging from social, economic, humanitarian to cultural, varying in scale and context, showing their shared ambition to advance justice and fairness in a society. This is also the first comprehensive presentation of this topic in Europe, presenting a large number of photographs, video material, interviews, models, and more in multiple media and physical forms.

The advanced visual technology also makes this exhibition unattainable from traditional ones by creating an immersive atmosphere to engage visitors. Stepping in the gallery, a nearly 780" large digital Taiwan urban landscape image, formed by the projections from five ViewSonic laser projectors, perfectly merges with the surrounding physical exhibits as if you are in the city. With the laser projector offering 5,500 lumens of high brightness and true color, the clear and vivid images are not even affected under natural light.

In addition, the projectors can be freely rotated 360 degrees vertically and have a 90 degrees portrait projection mode, enabling creative applications with an easy angle adjustment and flexibility. Moreover, it offers up to 20,000 hours lifespan with eco-friendly energy efficiency and provides 24/7 continuous operation, speaks to the needs of sustainability while providing product utility, perfect for large venues to display content all day long.

About A.M. Architekturmuseum

The Architekturmuseum was established in 1868 as a teaching collection for students of architecture at the present-day Technical University. When Friedrich von Thiersch erected a new building for the University in Gabelsbergerstrasse in 1912, the architectural collection was accommodated in a large, representative wing of the building and formed the center of the Department of Architecture. The museum advanced its programs in September 2002 by opening its own dedicated presentation rooms in the Pinakothek der Moderne.
