An appalling hi-tech cartoon of the Mona Lisa waves at you and chats about her married life. Characters in old-master paintings fidget and wriggle. Statues come to life. It took a South Korean gallery two years to make this ghastly show, combing 3D and holographic technology with sound identification software. Will the Chinese punters love it or hate it?
