The Chengdu High-tech Zone in Sichuan province transformed traditional Lantern Festival celebrations into a spectacular showcase of technological innovation and local talent on Tuesday evening. The event featured a groundbreaking fusion of artificial intelligence and cultural expression that highlighted the region’s growing status as a tech hub.
The centerpiece of the celebration was an immersive light display projected across the 52,000-square-meter LED screens of the Tianfu International Financial Center’s iconic twin towers. This visual spectacle, developed in collaboration with Kuaishou’s advanced AI model Keling, unfolded across seven thematic chapters that blended holiday motifs with digital artistry. The 218-meter towers served as a dynamic canvas for displaying slogans from nearly 50 leading enterprises within the zone, turning corporate messaging into an artistic experience.
Beyond the visual spectacle, the event featured an innovative musical performance where employees from the zone’s electronic information, biomedicine, digital economy, and future technology sectors debuted six original compositions. These works, created through human-AI collaboration, drew inspiration from both professional experiences and daily life, demonstrating how artificial intelligence can enhance creative expression.
The celebration effectively demonstrated how traditional festivals can serve as platforms for technological demonstration and talent recognition, while simultaneously promoting local enterprises and innovative capabilities to a broader audience.
