Art exhibitions featuring largescale projection continue to enthrall – and enrich – audiences worldwide. In Tokyo, a recent adaptation of the exhibition "Eternel Mucha," by Grand Palais Immersif and the Mucha Foundation offered Japanese art-lovers the opportunity to explore the masterpieces of Alphonse Mucha on a magnificent scale. Behind the scenes at this immersive exhibition: Dataton WATCHOUT and five WATCHPAX 62 media servers for content playback to 16 projectors, all installed by Kyoeisha Co, Ltd.

A representative figure of the Paris-based Art Nouveau movement, Czech-born Mucha's work has become a symbol of sophistication, elegance and modernism, inspiring artists and continuing to fascinate people today. With the focus on immersive visuals, the “Eternel Mucha” touring exhibition aims to present Mucha's life, artistic achievements, and influence.

Working in collaboration with creative technology partner, PICSTECH, Kyoeisha Co., Ltd, deployed a WATCHOUT system that provided seamless content to seven projectors mapping the walls, with a further six projecting on the floor of the space. In a separate area, characters from Mucha's posters were displayed as 3D animations. In this part of the exhibition, WATCHOUT was teamed with three projectors to cover an L-shaped wall, with a stairwell. The combination of high-resolution projection, flawless show composition and reliable playback – hallmarks of WATCHOUT – served to draw the audience into the artworks in the unique immersive space.

The exhibition was created by Grand Palais Immersif, a major producer of immersive and interactive digital touring exhibitions who aim to make art accessible to the greatest number, by harnessing digital and sensory innovation.
