[Klook Exclusive] ARTECH at One Central Macau - "Starry Night Garden"

ONE CENTRAL MACAU is proud to present ARTECH, a first-of-its-kind AI Art & Technology Exhibition series in the Greater Bay Area. Featuring artworks from renowned artists worldwide, the first exhibition in the series "Starry Night Garden" will be held at One Central Macau from May 25th to July 31st, 2023. With the support of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), this exciting new attraction will promise to dazzle visitors with thriving art pieces, highlighting Macao’s allure as a premier travel destination, and making it a new hub for large-scale AI Art & Technology showcase in the Greater Bay Area.

Curated by ART PRINCE ADVISORY, in partnership with ONE CENTRAL MACAU, the exhibition features a large-scale 360° immersive AI art space, "Full Moon and Blossoming Flower" (花好月圓大觀園), created by renowned Hong Kong artist William Lim in collaboration with Kaiju Matter, a Hong Kong award-winning creative agency. Making use of architecture and nature, the shift of the weather, the change of the seasons, and the concept of feng shui, William Lim utilizes his classic oil paintings hoping to bring joy and blessings to everyone.

The exhibition will also debut the VG39 digital art series, the world’s first limited edition of “phygital” artworks certified by the Foundation, presented by Hong Kong-based web3 company Appreciator.io in collaboration with the Van Gogh Sites Foundation of the Netherlands. The project aims to promote the development of arts and culture through innovative technology, raise funds to preserve cultural heritage and nurture global artistic talent.
