Tian Xiaolei graduated from the Digital Media major at the School of Design, Central Academy of Fine Arts. Tian Xiaolei's works often focus on the relationship between humans and technology. He is interested in the rapidly evolving uncertainty of this era, the relationship between technology and life in species evolution, and the new trends of this hybrid era. He uses the imagination of an artist to create future world samples, blending culture, history, technology, and the body to create new artistic experiences. His works have been collected multiple times by important contemporary art institutions such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum, Today Art Museum, Meulensteen in New York, Hao Art Museum, Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum, and Wang Shikuo Art Foundation. He is a pioneer in new media art in China.

Digital art, as the name suggests, refers to artistic works created or presented using digital technology. It breaks the media restrictions of traditional art forms and opens up a Xintiandi of artistic creation and expression. Digital art encompasses a wide range of creative fields, including computer painting, 3D animation, digital imaging, interactive art, online art, and more.

Tian Xiaolei is a multimedia artist who excels in using digital technology to create immersive interactive experiences. His works are renowned for their unique imagination and astonishing output, and have been exhibited at numerous art exhibitions both domestically and internationally. Today, we will take Tian Xiaolei's works as slices to explore the linguistic charm and practice of digital art as a new medium. The combination of digital art and public art not only broadens the forms of artistic expression, but also adds new cultural elements to urban spaces. In the lecture, Tian Xiaolei will also share some cross-border cases of digital art and public art to stimulate everyone's imagination and creativity. I hope this lecture can bring new artistic inspiration to everyone and provide a more comprehensive understanding of digital art and its application in public spaces.
