Mona Lisa chats with you in Beijing

written by nicklas on 08-26-2009. 1 reaction.

The ‘Mona Lisa,’ Leonardo Da Vinci’s portrait of a lady (or, at least, himself as a lady), is much more lively these days. In Beijing, she talks and waves to visitors, but when it comes to that smile, her lips are still sealed.

A new exhibit at the Planning Exhibition Hall in Beijing, China takes classic works of art and animates them using 3-D graphics and sound-recognition technology. The ‘Mona Lisa’ isn’t the only thing coming to life inside these frames. The exhibit also includes Leonardo’s ‘Last Supper’ (with Jesus and his disciples interacting at the famous table), Raphael’s ‘School of Athens,’ and even an ancient Egyptian wall painting.
