Visitors to the National Art Museum of China must enter a media art exhibition in a most unusual way - through a gate beset by air currents.

Visitors pass through the air current acoustic field in front of the National Art Museum of China in Beijing on Sunday, June 22, 2008.

Xinhua News Agency reported the gate, an air current acoustic field, is part of the "Synthetic Times – Media Art China 2008" exhibition.

Sounds of the air currents assault the ears while passing through the gate, but fade out quickly outside the gate.

The exhibition, which runs from June 10 to July 3, showcases over forty media art installation works by more than one hundred artists from about thirty countries.
