Hamburg is getting a new art attraction: With “Port des Lumières” (Port of Lights), the French company Culturespaces wants to open its first digital art museum in Germany in autumn 2023.
According to the company, which already operates similar digital art centers in Paris, Bordeaux and Dubai, the Hamburg location will cover an area of around 3,100 square meters in the Überseequartier in Hafencity. In the exhibition, the masterpieces of one artist, for example by Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh or Gustav Klimt, are shown in three-dimensional, digital rooms about ten meters high.
The art is brought to life for visitors by a system with 60 loudspeakers and more than 100 projectors, which transmit 3000 moving images per second onto a 3120 square meter projection surface. A similar digital exhibition with paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) can be seen in Hamburg-Altona until June 8th. The “Van Gogh Alive” show, which has already made guest appearances in 70 cities, makes a stop there.
