STOCKHOLM, Sept. 11, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The event, which took place in a fully immersive -5°C ice environment, showcased a unique blend of Chinese intangible cultural heritage (ICH), esports, and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
The centerpiece of the event was a live performance that reinterpreted traditional Chinese music through the lens of esports and AI. The performance, created in collaboration with vrch.io, featured elements of Zhuang Laige, Mashan Zhuang three-part folk singing, and the distinctive Zhuang wind instrument bóliè. These traditional sounds were paired with the powerful vocal tradition of Shaanxi Qinqiang opera, all while introducing the pioneering spirit of esports. The performance was complemented by real-time visuals generated through vrch.io's Agentic VJ system, which evolved dynamically with the music, merging sound, light, and space within the ice environment.
In addition to the live performance, the event included a cross-cultural digital visual exhibition supported by MirroS, a partner of the Perfect World Campus Art Design Award. This exhibition, built with the MirroS World Model, combined Nordic landscapes with elements of traditional Chinese culture through a game-inspired, first-person journey from the Nordic environment toward the cultural landscapes of the East.
According to a representative from Perfect World Digital Art, the event aimed to explore new contemporary pathways for bringing traditional Chinese culture to international audiences through digital technology. The company emphasized its commitment to building bridges between Eastern and Western cultures and bringing Chinese cultural content to global audiences in increasingly technological and contemporary forms.
The event served as a key international cultural exchange initiative by Perfect World Digital Art, highlighting the company's dedication to innovation and cultural preservation. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and immersive environments, Perfect World Digital Art continues to push the boundaries of cultural expression and engagement.
