Digital geological art on view at the National Museum

Isaiah Cacnio exhibit uses LG screens

- 

TO BRING TOGETHER art and technology, LG has partnered with the National Museum of Natural History on a solo exhibit by digital artist Isaiah Cacnio about the beauty and diversity of Philippine geography.

Along with this is a donation of TV displays and monitors (worth over P500,000) so that the museum can offer “a more immersive and dynamic way for visitors to engage with its galleries.”

“This is yet another milestone in a long-standing collaboration that has allowed us to push the boundaries of what a museum can be in the 21st century,” said National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) director-general Jeremy Barns at the launch on June 10.

“We are increasingly expected to be dynamic, engaging, and responsive, to be places where knowledge is not only preserved but brought vividly to life.”

Titled Fragments, Mr. Cacnio’s exhibit marks the first time a digital and motion graphics artist is featured at the NMP. It runs for an entire month at the Ayala Reception Hall on the second floor of the National Museum of Natural History in Manila.
