We are proud to announce the launch of our first custom made gallery in China, the IaoHin Gallery, Macau.
The IaoHin Gallery, set in the Heritage district of Macau will be the first gallery in China to take a virtual copy of their bricks and mortar gallery online.
Now any of the IaoHin gallery's website visitors can literally walk into the gallery, and have the pleasure of exploring the exhibitions held within, as if they where actually there.
Great care was taken to imbue the virtual gallery with the IaoHin gallery's own atmosphere and style.
Reach:
Now, being at the IaoHin gallery can happen online as well, expanding not only the reach of each exhibition but adding the ability to tell a story, which is completely beyond the scope of a traditional website.

Why?
The owner and founder Florence Lam, wants to really connect the virtual space with the physical by introducing visitors to the gallery from outside.
Set in the early evening, with the art clearly visible through the large front window, visitors will be gracefully transported from outside the gallery towards and through the opening front door, coming to rest positioned in front of the first artwork.

Design:
Design is a big gain from the project, enabling Florence and Simon, her partner to try many permutations when designing new exhibitions.

Embedding:
The IaoHin gallery will be embedded in a page on the website and will be managed from their exhibbit account.
Virtual galleries are much like normal galleries and can show only one exhibition at a time. However unlike bricks & mortar galleries, the IaoHin virtual gallery can run many copies of the gallery each with a different exhibition.
Uses:
There are many ways the IaoHin gallery can use their newly created space.
Mirroring their current exhibition; showing previews of future shows and creating exhibitions from the gallery's stock are just a few of the uses.
I will be penning a follow up on the IaoHin gallery, about the launch of it's virtual space it's inaugural exhibition, and the affect the virtual gallery has on the IaoHin Gallery's online presence.
Their first exhibition date will be announced soon...so until then.
Cheers
Peter
