About
Pegasus is a mapping artwork specially created for the 2023 Beijing Chaoyang International Light Festival, presented on the exterior façade of the Kempinski Hotel by the Liangma River. Centered on the concept of “Technology + Ecology + Future,” it seeks to construct a five-dimensional stage beyond reality. Against the vast backdrop of the universe, a radiant starlight initiates the journey, guiding audiences into a deconstructed space-time future, as if stepping into a crystalline dimension that shines like diamonds.Within this space, the ecological environment reaches its optimal state, and an energy core gives rise to the “Shining Horse,” a symbol of happiness and guardianship. The horse is not only an emblem of auspiciousness and strength in traditional Chinese culture but also embodies contemporary China’s steadfast belief in building “green waters and lush mountains” and advancing green technology. It leads viewers through a city of the future, exploring emerging technologies such as new energy, artificial intelligence, and space exploration, while roaming through verdant urban realms.Visually, the artwork combines futuristic geometric structures with dynamic lighting effects. Breaking the constraints of traditional physical space, it creates a powerful sense of futurism through surreal transformations of light and imagery. Each appearance of the Shining Horse brings a new surprise: transforming into radiant energy, traversing digital networks, or galloping through ecological gardens. The interplay of technology and art gives the piece both grand narrative power and delicate emotional resonance.Pegasus is not only a feast of light but also a fable of the future. It conveys humanity’s pursuit of a better life, the safeguarding of a green homeland, and the vision of finding balance between technological progress and natural harmony. Through its visual impact, it invites audiences to reflect on the profound relationship between humankind and the universe, and between technology and nature.
