Shanghai Design Festival Mirage Urban Blossom

Concept
SIZE
0 sqft - 1000 sqft
Invited by Design Shanghai and Xintiandi Festival, MARS Studio collaborated with the XJTLU Design School to create "Mirage " – a dynamic, interactive art installation located in the lakeside green space of Shanghai Xintiandi. Led by lead designers Ma Ning and Yu Jiashi, the work embodies vitality and public engagement.
Inspired by Cai Guoqiang’s pyrotechnic art, "Mirage" reimagines the familiar imagery of fireworks through staggered geometric forms, capturing the breathtaking instant of their bloom.
Echoing Design Shanghai’s theme "Boundless Playground," the design draws inspiration from childhood games, infusing the piece with playful interactivity. Dynamic light and fluid lines capture the radiance of fireworks mid-explosion – evoking nostalgic memories while forging new emotional connections between viewers and urban space.
Gradient nylon rope screens trace continuous, flowing contours. Their vibrant hues pay tribute to Matisse's La Gerbe: green symbolizes nature, blue reflects the sky, and orange-red depicts blossoms.
These colors carry innocence and freedom, harmonizing with natural beauty. As perspectives shift, colors blend and light dances, inviting audiences into a dazzling "firework" dreamscape.
Every structural, material, and operational detail was meticulously crafted to encourage children’s tactile exploration – responding to touch and sound.
A highlight is the sound-responsive lighting system: vibrations travel outward, activating a multisensory experience. The installation dynamically captures environmental rhythms, pulsing, flickering, and swaying in real time.
Composer Yu Yibin (XJTLU Design School) created an original score, transforming static light into music’s visual dance partner. Colors and luminosity pulse with melodic rhythms, immersing children in a wonder-filled sensory world.
"Urban Blossom" freezes fireworks’ fleeting romance into eternity. Interwoven light and shadow, streaking trajectories – together, they compose the vibrant heartbeat of the city.
