When you hear the words “art gallery”, you may think of quiet, reverent spaces where you observe the artwork displayed on walls.

The latest art exhibition at Muzium Telekom in Kuala Lumpur, however, takes viewers from their passive role and puts them right into the artwork itself, interacting with the lights, movements and sounds of the digital works.
