Marking the centenary of the Palace Museum, “The Way in Patterns” brings the Forbidden City’s intricate motifs to Shanghai in an immersive digital format. The exhibition at Fosun Foundation translates patterns from architecture, ceramics, textiles, and paintings into animated light and sound, letting visitors explore details from dragon and phoenix emblems to floral and geometric designs. AI and 3D modeling highlight connections across centuries of visual culture, while interactive screens allow guests to experiment with their own digital creations. The show blends traditional craft with contemporary technology, offering a quiet, contemplative way to encounter Chinese decorative arts and the symbolic meanings woven into them.
