Step into the future at the National Art Gallery (NAG) in Kuala Lumpur and experience Malaysia's classic paintings in a new light with the National Art Gallery's digital wall, blending tradition with modern technology.

Their groundbreaking exhibition, "Into The Frameless (Merungkai Bingkai)." This immersive experience reimagines Malaysia’s national collection, blending art with cutting-edge technology.

Running until April 2027, this long-term exhibit features 34 artworks presented in digital formats, making it much more than just a typical art show.

The gallery is divided into three captivating sections: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), and projection mapping. 

Each one explores a different facet of modern tech, but the real magic happens when these technologies bring classic Malaysian artworks to life.

One of the standouts is the Immersive Video Segment, where you can experience 31 works across five nature-inspired zones — “Coastlines,” “Sea,” “Paddy Fields,” “Micro Flora,” “Macro Flora,” and “Mountains” — each showcasing the rich cultural and environmental diversity of Malaysia.

Some iconic pieces include Syed Ahmad Jamal's Storm (1958), Chuah Thean Teng's Fishing Village (1959), A.J. Rahman’s Night in Langkawi (1976), and Ibrahim Hussein's Genting (1978), to name just a few.

But it’s not just about looking at the artwork; it’s about interacting with it. A cool feature is the AI Photobooth, where you can have your portrait transformed into a unique digital creation. 

Meanwhile, the AR Coloring section allows visitors to color in designs and turn them around in augmented reality, from small sketches into full-blown animations.
