Mathemagical
Swarovski has a rich history of collaboration with global contemporary artists. To celebrate Masters of Light - From Vienna to Shanghai, Swarovski collaborated with Beijing artist Tian Xiaolei on an installation of digital artworks. Drawing inspiration from Swarovski Crystal and translating it into a new medium, Tian expands his ongoing Myth artwork series, which showcases fantastical human-machine hybrids as visions of future humanity. Limbs fuse with Swarovski Crystals, as if jewellery is part of the anatomy.
