In the summer of 2019, VAVE created the theme of “Adventures in Shanghai”, built a future train that travels through time and space, to establish Tencent’s outstanding strength as a tech company.

The city landscape VAVE created is futuristic, juxtaposing, grotesque. Walk into Yuyuan garden covered in cyberpunk styled lightings, tell ‘Xiaowei’, Tencent’s AI assistant, what’s your favorite Shanghai specialty food, watch Xiaowei unravel the story behind it. Write down idioms that include animal characters, see the pen you’re holding transform into a magical brush, turns your writing into illustrations, dancing lively on top of the projection wall.

T-Day Shanghai 2019 is an opportunity for Tencent to build a stronger partnership with the Shanghai Government, also a fun education for public visitors. It’s booked out instantly, and is well-received across social platforms, it’s suffice to say that this event has been a massive success. VAVE has yet again delivered an immersive experience combining culturally rich city and technology, that is more fun than pop-up installation shows, and more visually appealing than normal technology fairs.
