Thank you Jérém Oury for accepting our invitation and delivering a wonderful talk, “Boundless Light: Global Vision to Local Expression,” at Digi Park, Chengdu.

To explore new pathways for localized innovation in digital art, connect international artistic perspectives with local urban expression, and support the renewal of the industrial heritage spaces at Eastern Suburb Memory, an international art talk salon was recently held at ARTE MUSEUM under the theme “Boundless Light: From International Perspectives to Local Expressions.”

The event also formed part of the lead-up to the 2026 Chengdu International Digital Light Art Festival, bringing together international artists, academic scholars, festival organizers, and industry practitioners for an inspiring cross-disciplinary exchange.

Through dialogue and shared insight, the salon opened new perspectives for the future development of the festival and sparked fresh possibilities for the evolution of digital light art in Chengdu.
