🌊 Codes of Tides — Shanghai now is open to the public !
Codes of Tides — Shanghai had its grand opening on Dec 12th at the Design Innovation Institute Shanghai (DIIS). At the opening ceremony, institutional partners, friends, artists, students, researchers and media all came together to unveil the groundbreaking exhibition.
The ceremony was highlighted by extraordinary live performances including: “Silent River” a live poetry recitation by Yue Zheng and Yutong Ni ; a video work “Mirror III: Horizon” by David Cotterrell and “Where Currents Meet” a collaborative audio–visual performance by artist Tong Fu and musician XIA turned the ceremony hall into an immersive music live venue, creating an unforgettable artistic experience for all.
The exhibition leads visitors on a journey through a contemporary garden. They thread through a site-specific layout that translates classical Chinese shanshuilogic into a cinematic path defined by light, sound, data, and movement. At the center of the venue, Demilune V3.0(Junkai Chen) glows as an “electronic river,” physically and conceptually linking the works and guiding guests along the exhibition’s fluid narrative. Moreover, Codes of Tides — Shanghai was hosted within a historic building originally founded as the Lester Institute of Technology by British industrialist Henry Lester. The site’s rich history , which connects Shanghai and London, adds profound layers to the exhibition’s dialogue across time and space.
Come dive into this cross-cultural tide—where London’s tech energy meets Shanghai’s poetic soul! 🌉
