Mix-media artworks of students of Tsinghua University will be displayed at the campus exhibition program of this year's Ars Electronica Festival from Sept 8 to 12.

The exhibition titled Animate Worlds shows a burst of creativity, realized through various interactive technologies, to elaborate on the Chinese culture of the past and present.

On show will be a screen to offer a virtual, immersive experience to visit Dunhuang Grottoes' cave paintings. The program of digitalized cultural heritage enables people to appreciate Dunhuang’s art legacies while well preserving them by allowing few visits.

Held in the city of Linz, Austria since 1979, the annual Ars Electronica engages visitors with the latest development in new media art. Tsinghua University becomes the first Chinese university to exhibit at the festival.
