Suzhou Science and Technology Museum selects Christie’s Jazz Series for “Zoo of Extinction”
Almost 30 Christie Jazz Series 1DLP laser projectors have been installed to deliver captivating visuals in the new “Zoo of Extinction” exhibition hall at the Suzhou Science and Technology Museum in Jiangsu Province. Located on the second floor of the museum in Shishan Cultural Square, the 12m-high hall is designed around the narrative of discovery, understanding, renewal and coexistence. Visitors embark on an engaging journey that reimagines extinct species – from trilobites and dinosaurs to mammoths – through lifelike visualisations and interactive storytelling.
Featuring 15 4K1600-JS and 13 4K2100-JS projectors, the space delivers a compelling multi-sensory experience that blends extended reality (XR) and mixed reality technologies to bring ancient lifeforms to life. Shanghai Qingying Digital Technology provided end-to-end support, including systems design, equipment selection and the complex multi-projector installation across the expansive hall.
“The ‘Zoo of Extinction’ project places stringent demands on projection equipment,” said Yueyi Wu, general manager of Shanghai Qingying Digital Technology. “The Christie 4K1600-JS and 4K2100-JS projectors perfectly blend digital imagery with real-world scenes. Their low latency and high refresh rate ensure precise alignment across multiple projectors, audiovisual systems and interactive devices. Furthermore, the Jazz Series operates with low noise and is backed by a five-year warranty, fully meeting the stringent standards for uninterrupted 24/7 operation in cultural and tourism venues.”
He noted that this deployment builds on Christie’s strong presence at the Suzhou Science and Technology Museum, where more than 50 Inspire Series DWU760-iS 1DLP laser projectors have previously been installed across multiple galleries, supporting a wide range of visual experiences throughout the facility.
“The ‘Zoo of Extinction’ demonstrates the growing role of advanced projection in shaping next-generation science and cultural venues,” added Gene Wang, senior director of ProAV sales for China, Christie. “Our Jazz Series projectors provide the brightness, image precision and installation flexibility required for a variety of applications. Working closely with partners like Shanghai Qingying Digital Technology, we ensure these solutions are deployed seamlessly to create engaging, high-impact experiences for audiences.”
