AOSHOW× Shanghai International Light and Shadow Festival "Light Healing Forest" 360 ° Luminous Tube Interactive Lighting Project Case

Five internal organs and five aspirations into the light and shadow rhythm, TouchDesigner five people interactive to create immersive art space

From October 13th to 18th, 2025, the 2nd Shanghai International Light and Shadow Festival · Huangpu "Secret Land of Light" event was held on the Binjiang River in the South Bund. "Light Heals the Forest", created by Huangpu, the Light and Shadow Festival, in cooperation with Tongji University, takes the "five internal organs and five aspirations" in traditional Chinese culture as artistic inspiration, and integrates light color, sound, touch interaction with modern digital lighting technology to present a unique immersive light and sound experience.

The successful implementation of the project relies on the collaboration of Xinqiong Mechanical & Electrical and its related technical teams. Shenzhen AOSHOW Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. (AOSHOW) provides 360 luminous lamps, AS-SDMX main controller and AS-832 sub-controller, which cooperate with TouchDesigner touch interactive system to realize independent feedback of five interactive columns and photoacoustic polymerization effect when five people touch at the same time.

This work allows visitors to change from a viewer of the light to a participant, and also demonstrates the innovative value of the combination of digital control technology and public art.

1. project background: let light, sound and traditional culture meet

"Guangyu Forest" is set on the Binjiang River in the South Bund of Huangpu District, Shanghai. It focuses on the emotional experience of modern urban people and combines the "five internal organs and five aspirations" in traditional Chinese philosophy with modern light and shadow art.

In the traditional cultural system, the five internal organs of liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney are respectively connected with the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold and water, and form the corresponding relationship of five will, five colors and five tones.

Liver belongs to wood, corresponding to anger, cyan and horn sounds. Heart belongs to fire, corresponding to joy, red and sign sounds. Spleen belongs to soil, corresponding to thought, yellow and palace sounds; Lung belongs to gold, corresponding to sadness, white and business sounds. Kidney belongs to water, corresponding to fear, black and feather sounds.

"Light Yu Lin" takes this as the source of cultural creativity, integrates the color of light, changing rhythm and sound experience into the space installation, so that the audience can feel different artistic atmosphere in the process of watching and touching.

The "light healing" emphasized in the work is to express emotional relief and self-perception through artistic experience, not medical treatment.

2. Six Highlights: 360 Illumination and Interaction of Five Zang-organs and Five Zhigs

1. 360 omnidirectional luminescence, creating an enclosed light and shadow space

The project uses a AOSHOW360 ° luminous tube to shape the spatial vision with a multi-angle visible luminous structure.

Different from the ordinary single-sided light bar, the 360 ° lamp is more suitable for three-dimensional lighting devices, which can present light from different viewing directions, making the lamp itself a part of the artistic modeling.

In "Light Healing the Forest", the light not only assumes the role of lighting, but also participates in the creation of space emotions and the overall artistic atmosphere.

2. Five interactive pillars, carrying the cultural concept of the five zang-organs and five aspirations

The work sets up five touch interactive columns, with "five internal organs and five aspirations" as the core cultural concept, forming five interactive nodes that can be participated by the audience.

The five internal organs, five elements, five signs, five colors and five tones in traditional culture are interrelated, which provides a unique content design basis for the device.

By touching the interactive column, the audience can change the light and sound, and can feel the combination of traditional culture and modern digital art in a more intuitive way.

3. Single touch feedback, let the light respond to the audience

When the viewer touches the interactive column, the system receives a corresponding touch signal TouchDesigner triggers light and sound feedback according to the program logic.

Different interactive columns can present their own preset content, allowing visitors to actively explore the light and shadow device.

Compared with the traditional circular light show, this design directly incorporates the audience's behavior into the running process of the work, enhancing the sense of participation and interactive interest.

4. Five people touch at the same time, light and sound to the center of convergence

This is the "light more forest" the most representative of the interactive features.

When five spectators touch the five interactive columns respectively, the system recognizes the state of multiple people participating at the same time and triggers a collaborative interaction scene.

Lights and sounds gather to the center according to the preset program, forming a collective interactive effect with a sense of hierarchy and ritual.

This design links five independent interactive nodes, and completes the overall light and shadow change through the participation of many people, conveying the artistic concept of connection, resonance and coordination.

5. TouchDesigner digital control, realize photoacoustic touch linkage

The project processes the touch signals, interactive logic and associated control outputs through a TouchDesigner interactive system.

The AOSHOW AS-SDMX master controller and the AS-832 slave controllers are used for LED lighting control, enabling the 360° luminous tubes to produce the corresponding lighting effects according to the programmed scenes.

Light, sound and touch form an interconnected digital system that gives the work both artistic expression and real-time interaction.

6. Light and shadow music performance, expand the function of public art space

"Light more forest" can not only be used as a daily viewing and touch interactive device, but also can be combined with live music performance to form a richer light and sound experience.

In the performance mode, the lighting changes according to the music rhythm and preset control logic, making the work a public art stage integrating music and vision.

This combination of art installation and performance space improves the application flexibility of lighting works in different activity scenes.

3. control system: AOSHOW lamp with TouchDesigner technology

"Light Healing Forest" requires the coordinated operation of multiple systems, including 360 ° luminous tubes, master-slave control equipment, interactive signal and sound systems.

The 360 luminous tube provided by AOSHOW is responsible for spatial light and shadow performance. AS-SDMX master control and AS-832 sub-control participate in lighting equipment control; The TouchDesigner is responsible for interactive logic and touch feedback processing.

In the single touch scenario, the system triggers the corresponding light effect and sound according to the touch input.

In the scene where five people touch together, the system needs to comprehensively judge the states of multiple interaction points, and then start the corresponding central aggregation animation.

Such interactive devices have higher requirements for the stability of the control system, signal correspondence and light response coordination. Only by combining hardware configuration with program logic can a natural and complete experience be formed.

Difficulties in 4. Engineering: Accurate Coordination of Light, Sound and Touch

According to the project participants to explain, "light more forest" in the debugging process faces many challenges.

The first is the visual coordination of the luminous tube. It is necessary to combine the actual spatial structure, observation direction and design color, and repeatedly adjust the lighting performance to make the device present a soft and coherent overall effect.

The second is the touch system sensitivity. The five interactive columns need to correctly identify audience actions, reduce false triggers and missed triggers, and make interactive feedback meet design expectations.

Finally, multi-system synchronization. After the audience touches, the light and sound need to coordinate and respond; when five people touch at the same time, multiple input conditions and photoacoustic output must be coordinated to fully present the visual effect of aggregation to the center.

These difficulties mean that the device landing depends not only on creative design, but also on control system configuration, field testing and repeated optimization.

The collaboration between Xinqiong Electromechanical and related engineering and technical teams provides important support for the transformation of works from design concepts to actual experiences.

5. Project Value: Making Traditional Culture an Interactive Digital Art

Through the combination of modern lighting technology and Chinese traditional culture, "Light Yu Lin" transforms the abstract concept of five zang-organs and five will into an artistic experience that can be viewed, touched and participated in.

The value it embodies is not only the three-dimensional effect of the 360 ° luminous tube, but also how the digital light is connected with sound, cultural themes and human behavior.

For the cultural travel night tour project, this way can increase the active participation of tourists.

For the public art space, multi-person collaborative interaction allows the audience to establish a new way of communication.

For the LED lighting industry, the work shows the application direction of 360 ° lamp, intelligent control equipment and interactive program.

From single lighting to digital art, from preset animation to real-time interaction, lighting is becoming a new artistic medium connecting culture and people.
