The project was recognized as one of the best examples of a technologically and artistically refined integration of advanced visual solutions in a cultural space. The exposition combines large-scale 3D mapping, an immersive show, and digital staging to create a full immersion effect for the viewer into the history and intellectual heritage of the region.
The creative concept and visual execution of the project were carried out by an international team known worldwide for major multimedia stage projects. In collaboration with the Center's technical specialists, the team developed a unique audiovisual method for the exposition, harmonizing artistic ideas and modern technology.
As part of the project, high-tech Barco laser projectors were used, which ensure ultra-high brightness, accurate color reproduction, and image stability. This transformed the Center's facade and interior spaces into a dynamic visual field, showcasing Uzbekistan's contribution to world civilization—from the era of great scholars to the modern stage of the country's development.
The exposition "New Uzbekistan — the Foundation of a New Renaissance" expresses the continuity of eras and reflects the strategic vision of cultural and scientific revival. The award received confirms the high-level execution of the project and further strengthens the status of the Center of Islamic Civilization as an internationally significant modern cultural and scientific platform.
For reference, the mapping show created by Russia's Sila Sveta company for the Center's order is a 25-minute creative work, the product of labor involving 47 lighting fixtures, approximately 100 creative and technical specialists, and 50 graphic designers. This project is technologically complex and was shaped based on historical data and scientific explanations provided by the Center. Every projection, color, beam, and musical note reflects Uzbekistan's science, cultural heritage, and the legacy of its great scholars.
One of the show's most powerful symbols is the scene of the revelation of the Holy Quran, the recitation of Surah Al-'Alaq ("Read"). During the projection, the building's walls become transparent, light enters the center, and a new artistic interpretation of the holy book as a symbol of enlightenment transmitted from history to the future is revealed. The show focuses its central attention on humanity and its intellectual legacy. Through the projection, great personalities who left their mark on Uzbekistan's history are reflected, including Ibn Sina, Al-Khwarizmi, Imam al-Bukhari, Amir Timur, and Mirzo Ulugbek. The symbolic scene taken from the Holy Quran expresses the organic connection between history and spirituality; the center's walls seem to light up, light enters inside, and through the scene, one can feel history come alive.
For now, the mapping show is being demonstrated in a pilot mode on the Khorezm portal. This regional choice is not accidental, as Khorezm has been a center of science, culture, and art since ancient times. Based on observations and technical results obtained during the pilot phase, the mapping show will be further improved.
This mapping show gives viewers the opportunity to feel history, understand their own history, and see the richness of our culture in a modern interpretation. The project, harmonizing history and technology, is assessed as a new innovative stage for the Center, and the implementation of a number of other innovations is planned for the future.
