To enhance Longwu Tea Town’s international influence in the tea industry, advance the development goals of “Tea + Ecology,” “Tea + Culture & Tourism,” and “Tea + Technology,” and support Hangzhou’s city-brand building as the “Capital of Chinese Tea,” the festival seeks innovative expression in tea culture tourism and intangible cultural heritage, builds a cross-disciplinary fusion of international art, digital technology, and natural ecology, and creates the country’s first “immersive light and shadow art festival in tea fields,” becoming a new nighttime-economy landmark for Hangzhou cultural tourism and immersive experiences in Longwu Tea Town. 

本次大赛以“茶境无界·光影共生”为核心主题，融合自然生态、数字科技、国潮时尚，呈现兼具艺术与科技、人文与自然的优秀作品，共赴一场茶与光的国际艺术之约。 
Centered on the theme “Boundless Tea Realm · Symbiosis of Light and Shadow,” this competition integrates natural ecology, digital technology, and contemporary Chinese fashion trends, presenting outstanding works that combine art and technology, as well as humanity and nature, for an international artistic encounter between tea and light. 

“Moirai: Thread of Life” joins an international gathering of artists working with light, projection, and immersive media in a public park setting. Presenting in a large outdoor cultural park brings the work to a broad public audience beyond the gallery, in keeping with Media Art Nexus’s interest in art that reaches people in shared civic spaces.
