From the author: "Digital Art has innately the character of duality. It is arts but also science. Being the museum to record its development, it is also designed to be equipped with such duality. To achieve that, the design proposed a museum consisted with vertical strips elements to create different special experience. The design could be read as a mediator, which connects people and delivers information to all.
The facade of the building is trying to manifest one principle: All enormous artifact are built with the most basic elements, like the city is formed by numerous of walls, and walls are built up by bricks. Our digital world is also formed by the same principle: all logic and programs could be converted into 1 and 0, and the highly computerized world are driven by these individual programs. The repeated singular strips forms the three layer of the facade. Each layer has their specific purpose. The third layer of facade is both interior decorative walls and exhibition boards. equipped with led strips, this layer displays arts and make arts itself, diffusing the interior and exterior spaces, giving visitors a sense of reality blended with illusions."
