After months of devoted exploration of light and shadow art works in various corners of the world, the Blue Harbor selection of lighting art installations from Germany and Australia will unveil the mysterious veil on December 14: "STALACTITE" (stalactite), "OCTOPODA" (eight Clawfish) and "PARROT PARTY" (Parrot Party), etc. These light and shadow interactive works of art were first introduced into China by Blue Harbor. This is not simply a copy by air, but a fusion and innovation of Eastern and Western art culture. At the opening ceremony of "STALACTITE" (stalactite), Blue Harbor uniquely combined the oriental "integrated art" philosophy with lighting works and electronic music, leading to a new height of urban art space.
All in One Oriental Philosophy Open Source
On the opening day, Blue Harbor specially invited Chinese contemporary artist Hao Fangyuan to perform traditional musical instruments on site, and combine painting, music, performance, video, animation and electronic music effects to present a new and diverse artistic sensory experience.
Whether it is the happiness of life, or the truth of the universe ’s nature, it is all inspired and influenced by Eastern civilization. Hao Fangyuan performed a painting interpretation of Oriental philosophy on the spot, describing reality and virtuality, and now intermingles with the future, taking you to understand this multi-space-time multi-dimensional fantasy world.
Art is diverse and blends without borders. When the unity of everything in Oriental philosophy is displayed to the fullest, the "STALACTITE" (stalactite) suspended above the sunken square will present a beautifully unveiled ceremony with a sense of technology, which will inevitably link the modern sense with Oriental philosophy.

Colorful, new visual development
Inspired by the critically endangered New Zealand parrot, creator Zara Pasfield hopes that "PARROT PARTY" will raise awareness of the fragile situation of these unique birds. The structure of these parrots is lit by lights, using folded geometric shapes to create the natural shape of the bird, with vibrant orange, blue and green on the body. They perched on the dome. When there were people around, they sang loudly, became happy and excited and gave out colorful lights.
Zara Pasfield, creator of "PARROT PARTY", is a talented lighting artist. After earning a degree in space architecture from UTS in 2017, she participated in major lighting festivals around the world in a short time, including in 2018 with the work "PARROT PARTY" at the Sydney Lighting Festival.
Art is the catcher of the soul. Good art has a high spiritual value and can promote the communication and harmony between people, people, nature and society. Ten years ago, the blue harbor of SOLANA started the exploration and inheritance of urban space art, connecting pieces of art with high aesthetic value to the commercial space, and integrating culture and art into the public life through the festival of lights. While illuminating the entire blue harbor, it also gives the city of Beijing super imagination and happiness.
