Tonight’s 2026 Spring Festival Gala isn’t just celebrating the Year of the Horse—it’s charging into the future with groundbreaking tech! 🚀 The iconic show, airing globally on February 16, blends tradition and innovation like never before, featuring a jaw-dropping stage powered by AI, AR, and XR.
A Digital Stampede
At the heart of the gala? A massive installation of eight galloping horses made from 300 modular units and 5,584 flip modules. Visual director Guo Li calls it a "living canvas" that shifts between gold, silver, and red, synchronized with lighting and music to create a mesmerizing, ever-changing spectacle. 🎨💡
Where Tradition Meets Tech
Inspired by the horse’s symbolism of perseverance, the stage design mirrors China’s cultural heritage while embracing tomorrow’s tech. Performers interact seamlessly with AR-generated landscapes, blurring reality and imagination. Think Avatar-level visuals meets Lunar New Year vibes! 🌌🐴
With XR extending the stage into 3D space, viewers worldwide will feel like they’re galloping alongside the artists. As Guo says: "This isn’t just a show—it’s a bridge between our roots and the digital age." 🌉
