After the end of the residency, despite being in different locations, the resident artists and the team have maintained cross-regional collaboration to advance the creative process together, using the project as a link. After months of meticulous polishing and creative iteration, their works and stories have been presented at events, exhibitions and appearances at home and abroad, demonstrating the artists' continued passion and deepened exploration of their work, as well as presenting to the public their unique insights into the combination of Qiang culture and digital art.
During the ten-day residency, the participating artists combined inspiration gathered during their field research with their individual creative strengths, crossing disciplinary boundaries to engage in a deep artistic dialogue with the ancient heritage of the Qiang people. Their practices ranged from filming documentaries on Qiang language inheritors, creating outdoor installations themed around nature worship, compiling albums dedicated to Qiang embroidery, to reimagining traditional embroidery patterns using 3D technology. These diverse and innovative approaches not only deepened the artists' connections with the Qiang community but also left a mark of creative vitality on this resilient land.
This residency explored how art can contribute to rural revitalization and demonstrated the vast potential of artistic expression in the context of social development. Over the course of several weeks, the artists delved into the rich cultural imagery of the Qiang, ranging from traditional motifs and linguistic symbols to ancient rituals, folk instruments, and natural landscapes. They sought to decode and reinterpret the Qiang’s unique narrative structures and spiritual world through digital media, creating residency works that fuse video, sound, installation, interaction, and generative art.
The resulting artworks span a wide range of forms, including video installations, oil painting installations, sound art, algorithm-generated visuals, 3D printing, digital prints, and interactive projection-based installations. Through these works, the artists respond to the cultural shifts and spiritual worlds of mountain communities, inviting each viewer to take part in an artistic dialogue on intangible cultural heritage and contemporary vitality.
这些作品在上海纽约大学数字媒体艺术画廊（NYU Shanghai IMA Gallery）展出，展览以“Digital Qiang Garden: Pixel and Threads｜数字羌境：像素与线”为题，呈现艺术家们在数字与非遗交汇处的思考与实践。
These works were exhibited at the NYU Shanghai IMA Gallery under the title “Digital Qiang Garden: Pixel and Threads｜数字羌境：像素与线”, presenting the artists’ reflections and practices at the intersection of digital innovation and intangible heritage.

Digital Qiang Garden: Pixel and Threads
数字羌境：像素与线群展
Overview
在这里，羌族文化遗产和数字创新交织在一起，创造了一个充满活力的生态系统，传统以新的形式蓬勃发展。像素和线相互作用，这是触觉和虚拟之间对话的诗意隐喻。从线到像素，羌绣激发了生成图案、羌笛和羌歌的波纹又激发了音景和视觉语言。从像素到线，数字媒体重塑了实体，表现在明信片、油画、羊毛毯和纺织品上。
当观众漫步在这个数字花园中时，他们会遇到过去和未来、传统和创新的无缝融合。这是一次思考民族艺术如何与新世代互融的邀请，在转型中，文化艺术遗产在想象力和技术的沃土中无限繁荣。
