The two works in Xintiandi Plaza - "Object and Me" and "Fortune-transferring Cloud" are full of fun: through abstract techniques, faces with different expressions are superimposed to form a giant head, which triggers the effect of sound and light interaction as tourists step into their minds; giving vitality to the clouds and conveying healing power through interaction. When people touch or pat the sleeping clouds, each different way of interaction will bring a different feeling.

Different installations are interspersed in the Shikumen blocks of Xintiandi. Visitors can walk through them with anticipation and discover hidden Easter eggs in the streets and alleys. For example, at the entrance of the Shikumen blocks of Xintiandi, a traditional Shanghai-style building, the light and shadow interactive installation "Gateway of Light" interweaves light and shadow, and superimposes mirror images, inviting viewers to enter a space full of dreams and hope. The "Massages in Flowers" installation uses flowers as a medium to present a dramatic pink garden. The "City Kaleidoscope-Flowers in the Mirror" installation is an urban experience installation made of mirrored metal, inspired by childhood toys, allowing people to recall the joy and innocence of childhood.

The works of Xintiandi Fashion I invite the audience to experience various interactions: riding a bicycle with wings, or wearing virtual jewelry... For example, the urban public interactive installation "Flying in the city", composed of "body" and "wings", combines different thoughts on interaction, games, machinery, environmental protection, etc., trying to connect the relationship between people and their inner selves, nature, society and the city.

Visitors can fully experience biodiversity in Xintiandi Fashion II. "Small Flower, Wild Beauty" is an experience installation for perceiving native wild flowers in the Yangtze River Delta. The flower pavilion, a colorful sculpture with a sense of volume, uses transparent fabric to express the lightness and softness of flowers. The flower pavilion invites visitors to enter its interior and immerse themselves in the color X-ray-like images of native wild flowers. "Art for dog'ssake" designed four display elements based on the dog's keen sense of smell, hearing, touch and weak vision, transforming the atrium space into a maze of multi-sensory experience.

In Xintiandi Green Space, you can get a chance to free yourself from your mobile phone and computer screens and listen to the sound of your own breathing. For example, in the music interactive installation "Rainbow Symphony", the five-line score is no longer just on the plane. When the audience walks into it, everyone's body seems to become a leaping note.

In the future, Shanghai Xintiandi community will continue to explore more urban space inspirations, use commercial, office, humanistic, social and other carriers to enhance regional development and consumption vitality, and create a quality life experience.
